Who Are You?

The Bible is filled with good questions. It’s one of my favorite things about the Bible. It asks questions that penetrate the everydayness of life and force us to take a closer look at our lives. Today’s text asks one of those good questions. John the Baptist is at the Jordan River baptizing many when the priests and Levites go out to find out what is so special about this man. They ask him: “Who are you?” John’s response is telling, and it’s what we need to talk about today, but ultimately it’s not John’s answer you should be concerned with, it’s your own. Who are you? You, sitting in the pew reading these words. Who are you? How would you answer this question?
