The theme of Sundays’ message was “True to Who You Are”.
Your Identity, Who are you? How would you answer that question? As you listen to the passage Mark 8:27-38, think about what it has to say about Jesus’ self-understanding, his own sense of his identity – and what the ramifications of his identity are for him and those who follow him. Jesus asked his disciples “ Who do people say that I am?” And they answered. “John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets”. He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him,” You are the Messiah.”
Who are You? In the fall of 2000, a 17 year old country singer named Jessica Andrews recorded a song that rose to the top of the Billboard country charts.
It started:” If I live to be a hundred and never see the seven wonders. That’ll be alright. If I don’t make it to the big leagues, if I never win a Grammy I’m gonna be just fine; Cause I know exactly who I am, I am Rosemary’s granddaughter, The spitting image of my father and when the day is done, my momma’s still my biggest fan, Sometimes I’m clueless and I’m clumsy But I’ve got friends who love me. And they know just where I stand. It’s all a part of me, And that’s who I am.” So Who are You? Be a Blessing to all you meet.
