Jesus knew His Iderntity

These are the earliest words of Jesus quoted in the New Testament. Before this time, no one had ever used the term 'My Father" as Jesus had. No one had ever referred to the Creator in such a persona, ultimate way. If we reread Jesus' words , we discover Messiah. two things about our young Messiah. 1. He knows who He is. No cruising into the turbulent teen years with an identity crisis. No giving into peer pressure or experimenting with the dark side of life. Jesus accepts who He is and stand true to His identity. 2.He knows His life mission. Best of all, He accepts it. Keep in mind that Jesus is fully Gog and fully human. Yet He keeps His frail, human side in check and stays committed yo His calling.One more amazing thing happens: Jesus returns home with His parents the festivities and remains obedient to them. The fact that He's God's Son doesn't Give Him the right to rebel.Don't lose your identity. In the world eyes, your identity is wrapped up in what you do , how smart or athletic you are and how you look. But in God's eyes , what matters is who you are-His child. Find your identity in Christ. Our Lord wants the very best for you. His plans for you are even better than your wildest dreams. Jesus doesn't look at you and say,"this is who you are, and who you'll always be." Instead, He says, "just imagine who you can become!"
