Women's Midweek - The Identity of Jesus

Jesus understood the importance of His identity. He knew who He was. He fought hard and was intentional about striving to understand what His identity was. He worked out of that identity and didn't work out of his reputation.

We live in an era that reverses that. Our reputation is often what we allow to identify us. We are taught to find our identity in sexuality, success, family status, career, wealth, etc., etc., etc.  However, Jesus dove deeply and consistently into God’s word to find His identity.

Where do you go to receive your identity? How much effort do you spend seeking your identity from a Godly perspective? How much consistency do you put into that search? Do you allow the word to define you? On the contrary, how much do you work on your reputation? How much emphasis do you put on being who you feel you “should” be?
