Finding our identity is one of life's greatest needs. People search for it in education, wealth, careers, and even in religious involvements. To try to find our true selves we often set our lives on a course of strife and even sensationalism. When Jesus emerged from his own baptismal waters (Mark 1:9-11), He heard his Father say, "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." The Father did not define Jesus by any of the roles, such as teacher or evangelist, that He would have while on earth. God emphasized Jesus' relationship with the Father. That day, in Jesus' life was laid a foundation that would carry Him to the end of His life an would help Him finish well. Despite the rejection, mocking, persecution, and the experience of the cross itself, knowing Who He was gave Him the strength and determination to finish the race. Author Vince Mercardante for more than 40 years struggled with insecurity, shame, guilt, and searching for identity. One day, while on a flight to New Zealand in 2005, he cried out, "God, I don't know who I am."
