In this powerful message, we're reminded of our immense value in God's eyes. The central theme revolves around the question 'Who am I?', drawing from the parable of the Good Shepherd in John 10. We learn that Jesus, our Good Shepherd, knows each of us by name and cares for us personally. This intimate knowledge challenges us to see ourselves not as 'just sinners saved by grace', but as redeemed children of God with a rich inheritance. The message emphasizes that our worth isn't determined by worldly status or wealth, but by our relationship with Christ. We're encouraged to embrace our identity as saints, chosen and beloved by God. This perspective shift can transform how we view ourselves and others in our faith community, inspiring us to create a church where everyone truly matters and is known by name.
