The Unshakeable Foundation of Identity
In a world where our sense of self is often tied to external factors, it’s essential to examine what truly defines us. Do we find our identity in our ministry, family, job, or the opinions of others? Or is it rooted in something more profound?
The Source of Eternal Salvation
The Bible reminds us that Jesus, though He was the Son of God, learned obedience through suffering and became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him (Hebrews 5:8-9). This truth prompts us to ask: what would remain if everything else were stripped away? Would Jesus be enough for us?
A Life Anchored in Christ
The beautiful hymn “Christ My Life” by St. Patrick echoes this sentiment, declaring Christ as our life, light, and everlasting stay. In every circumstance, whether sickness or health, poverty or wealth, joy or sorrow, Christ remains our constant anchor. He is our rest, food, and highest good – our Shepherd, Leader, and Peace.
A Heart Fully Devoted
The question remains: can we honestly say, “Jesus, you’re all the world to me”? Or do other things hold our hearts captive? When everything else gives way, will Christ be our unshakeable foundation?
A Declaration of Faith
As Carol Wimmer so eloquently puts it, “When I say… ‘I am a Christian’” – I am thanking You right now. This declaration of faith is not just a statement of belief, but a commitment to find our identity in Christ alone.
The Enduring Presence of Christ
In every moment, whether morning, noon, or night, Christ is our Rock, our Comforter, and our Hope. His precious blood has shed, and He has brought us near to God. He is our Master, our Head, and our Crown – the Plant of great Renown.
May we find our true identity in Christ, the source of eternal salvation, and may He be enough for us, no matter what life may bring.
