Who are you?

Do you know who you are? Really know?

Everyday the world, society, even your teachers and peers challenge who you think - who you believe - you are.

So... Do you know who you are?

Jesus knew.

After the triumphal entry, Jesus continued doing what he had been doing for the previous three years: preaching, teaching, healing and sharing God's love and compassion.

He did this even in the face of direct challenge, circumspect and deceit. He spoke truth clearly into the people of Israel despite the leaders of the church challenging him at every turn. The church leaders were trying to find a way to trip Jesus up; they wanted to have the people turn on him naturally - to force him to slink away in humiliation.

But they failed at their first mission because Jesus knew exactly who he was.

Jesus knew who he was and what his mission was. He knew that his time as a great teacher was coming to an end and his time as the Savior of the World was about to commence.

Jesus was able to stand strong because of his innate knowledge of his true purpose. And he never faltered in the midst of the challenges.

You too have a mission. You to have a purpose.

The way to stand strong in the midst of the challenges this world throws at your belief of who you are is to know WHOSE you are.

You are a beloved child of God destined to share his love with the world.

Know who you are...And no challenger will ever overcome you.
