John 8:12-14
12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” 13 The Pharisees replied, “You are making those claims about yourself! Such testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesus told them, “These claims are valid even though I make them about myself. For I know where I came from and where I am going

Because Jesus knew where He came from and where He was going, He could not be manipulated.

To have an unshaken identity, our identity must be found in God.

Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them;

We were made from God to be like God. 

When we know where we are from, we can see through the lies.

We were made to worship God.

When you know where you’re from, you know what you’re created for.

Knowing where we’re going gives us purpose, but knowing where we’re from gives us power.

When we see ourselves through God’s eyes, we see others with His love.

Psalm 100:3
Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
