“Who is Jesus?” Many people initially answered, “Mary and Joseph’s son” or “a carpenter from Nazareth.” While true, these descriptions fall short. At Jesus’ baptism, God the Father revealed his true identity: Jesus is the dearly loved Son of God, chosen to be the Savior of the world. Now consider the question, “Who are you?” You might respond with your name, where you’re from, or your job. Sometimes, in moments of doubt, you might even think, “I’m no one.” But none of these truly define who you are. To understand your identity, look to your baptism. In baptism, God declares you his dearly loved child. Just as Jesus was anointed, so are you—empowered to live a life of selfless service. May this truth bring clarity and peace, just as it did for Jesus at the Jordan.
