Jesus Christ comes to confound our pride and to destroy our false sense of superiority. When Saint John's disciples ask Him: “Who are you?” His only answer is: “Relate what you have heard and seen.” Christ wants to teach us that it is our works that define who we are, not our words. Our works, whether good or bad, are what form us. It is by them that we ought to be recognized.
If one is asked the question: “Who are you?” it is not enough simply to say “I am a Christian.” A faithful follower of Christ should be living in a manner that one will clearly recognize this person to be someone who loves God with his whole heart, one who keeps the Commandments, goes to Confession, goes to Holy Communion and does all things worthy of a Christian. It is not enough simply to be called a Christian. We must perform the works of a Christian as well. We must begin by admitting that we are nothing, can do nothing and know nothing except for the grace of God!
