We recall the life of Muhammad Ali in Ken Burns film airing on PBS
Ali was clear about his identity calling himself the greatest, and he was in both in and out of the ring.
Jesus asks two questions about his identity first who do people say that the Son of Man is? In response, the disciples said some identified Jesus as John the Baptist, or Elijah, or Jeremiah.
The second question was more revealing “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter knew the identity of Jesus saying, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Ali knew he was the greatest and acted so. How do we act with the identity of Jesus imbedded in our lives?
Knowing the identity of Jesus is not enough. Like Ali we are the greatest when following Jesus, so let us take the identity of Jesus and live a life of greatness.
