It seems like there is a constant group of voices telling us who we should be, what we should care about, and what we need to do with our lives. It's normal to look to other people to help us figure out who we are, but other people's perceptions aren't always helpful or accurate. We need a reliable source to help us discover who we are.
There's this moment in Jesus' life where he hears God's voice tell him who he is. God looks at Jesus and says he loves and is pleased with him. The good news is, because Jesus is the representative of all humans, God is saying that to us, too. God's voice pushes past the places where we feel awkward or insecure, saying, "You are my child. I love you and am pleased with you right now." Jesus shows us that what God says about us matters the most. When we follow Jesus' lead, we see that God's words help us discover who we are.
