"I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep."
John 10:14-15, NKJV
I find it so comforting that Jesus knew exactly who He was and what He was on earth to do. Some of the most miserable people in the world are those who really don't know who they are. You've met them . . . the kind of people who spend the first half of their adult life trying to "find themselves." Then, they spend the last half regretting what they found. As Christians, you and I have the opportunity to know, really know, who we are in Jesus Christ. In our verse today, Jesus knew who He was and He knew the Father. "I am" is a statement of identity. It refers to "who you are" in Jesus Christ-born again and on your way to Heaven!
When you understand who you are in Christ, you've answered the "I am" question and you can move forward with confidence and peace. I encourage you today to ask yourself this question-Is Jesus Christ Lord of my life? If so, you know who you are! We would love to know who you are, too!
