This question was most assuredly asked of Jesus on a depth, purpose, and essence that go way beyond the superficial the day of resurrection and it is a question asked of each of us. Our treasures of our existence to the very core of who we are. identities can be described in so many ways. We can start with our  gifts and our talents, expertise and unique personality expressions. Within each one of us is a spark of Divine Love where creature and We can describe things we like and things we prefer to set aside. As Creator meet, and we are known uniquely by the name God whispers descriptive and captivating as these can be, none come close to our to us. It is not the earthly name that was given to us but the one that essence, our real and true self.

This is the self that will rise one day with the to see, the one we project. But there is much more to us just as there eternal Christ of God and live eternally as God provides. This is the is much more to Jesus. self that when free from all superficial constraints layered upon it in  this life can discover and know freedom in a way never possible before. This is love lifting us up and transforming us into who we Jesus could describe himself based on all of the same criteria we use really are, not who we want or need ourselves to be. Who are you? A for ourselves. After all, Jesus is totally human. With all that people special, unique child of God who has been fashioned in God’s im- witnessed and all that Jesus knew about his physical human self, his age, sustained by the power of God’s love and kept eternally with the divinity also shined forth. There was so much more to know about Blessed Trinity in heaven. Get to know this deeper, truer self as it is him. Whereas once Jesus was transfigured on top of a mountain be- who you really are. fore his disciples’ eyes, so today he is transfigured before our eyes as  he reveals his resurrected self as the Christ.
