It’s funny! Almost a year, we met each other and talked at the High School Alumni Homecoming. Few days ago, we were chatting in Facebook. Why didn’t she just ask my identity instead of guessing? When I finally revealed to her that I was the one who wished to receive old copies of high school paper for republishing in the new website, she finally recognized me.
When Jesus said, "Come and eat," none of the followers would ask him, "Who are you?" They knew He was the Lord (John 21:12). In another occasion, Jesus asked them, "What do people say about the Son of Man?" The disciples answered, "Some people say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah or Jeremiah or some other prophet." Then Jesus asked them, "But who do you say I am?" Peter spoke up, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:13-16; MESSI'AH, Christ, the anointed; the Savior of the world).
There are many Oddy’s on earth, many Radito’s, Estela’s and Nelson’s. But I believe that the identity of a person is not by knowing the name but rather by knowing “what he is” and “what his objectives in life are,” thus making the difference.
