Identity in Baptism
Where do we find our identity? Is it in our new year’s resolutions or the other ways that we try to remake ourselves? Isaiah reminded Israel that her identity was to be found in God, the God who created, formed, redeemed and called her by name. Our identity is not in what we do but in what God has done for us. In our baptism, like Israel, God creates, forms, redeems, and calls us by name.
