Who Are You?

John chapter 1
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
If all things were made by Him, that means you and I are no exception. Whether you believe it or not… you included in “in all things were made by Him…” So, wouldn’t you agree that it’s is wise then to ask He who created you what He thinks of you? What He expects of you? What He sees ahead of you in your life? I endeavor to inquire of Him and have when it comes to what He designed me to do. And just like He created a bird in flight or fish to dwell in water, I believe there is a place and activity that ONLY YOU are designed to do… and when you do, you receive immense joy, fulfillment, purpose as you engage in this task. Too, you add incredible value to those you serve and supply your goods/products or services.
19 Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
In this world, you and I constantly face skeptics or challenges who want to ask who we are, not because they really care to know but because they simply love to challenge others existence, value or what they are doing? I have found that when people ask you who yo are, instead of cowering away, you ought to face them squarely because the questions alludes to some incredible things they discern about you, and because they undermine you in some regard hence they feel the need to challenge you or intimidate you.
“…Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter[j]you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
When you and I behold and encounter Jesus as He is, He will also reveal to us who we are in Him and much much more… Why it behoves you and I to inquire of Him who were are… or better how would He go about introducing us, or what name would He give you and me if we dared encounter Him? Upon Nathaniel believing in Him, he not only responded in confession and amazement, but Jesus also showed him many great things about Him and promised even more great thing. “the heavens were open for his glance.” how would you like to see what’s in store for you through His lenses?
