John 1:19

In fact, this is the testimony John gave about Jesus to the religious and priestly leaders from Jerusalem who were sent by the Jewish authorities to question John, mainly with the question, “Who are you?” John 1:19 EFP

Note the sequence of this text.  There is a testimony.  It is given by John.  It is a testimony about Jesus.  It is a testimony given to the religious leaders.  They are sent by the Jewish authorities.  They are sent from Jerusalem.  They are set to John.  They are sent to question him. Their main question is, "Who are you?"

We will have to wait another day for his answer to their specific query, but we already know that his testimony is all about Jesus.  John is unapologetic about the fact that the core of his testimony is Jesus, not himself.  That's pretty awesome.  The answer to the question is always Jesus.  Everything flows from that non-negotiable springboard of faith.  Everything runs toward that inexhaustible ocean of truth.

Wouldn't it be nice if all I was and all I believed flowed from and found its purpose in Jesus?  Imagine the difference it would make!  My witness is about Jesus, because it is He who redeemed me.  My life's testimony is also Jesus, because it is He who lives in me.  My song in the melody He places in my soul.  My words find their genesis in the Word of Life and Truth.  I want that for my life-- my reason, my goal, my path, my vision, and my all is Jesus.  Is that your answer to the question, "Who are you?"
