Let me introduce you to yourself.
You are alone.
A solitary figure connected, joint 
and bone, to no one but yourself.
And this is the life you chose.
Let me introduce you to yourself.
You are cut-off, separated.
You ran into your isolation and now there is no
 way back into the family from which you came.
Let me introduce you to yourself.
You are stained.
You have sealed your 
isolated separation with guilt.
Let me introduce you to yourself.
You are under the shroud of slavery.
In trying to own yourself 
you became owned.
Your master is your sin.
You serve nothing, but your 
own isolation and separation.
This is your identity.
This is who you are.
But let me introduce you to who he is.
He is God’s special possession.
There is no shroud of darkness on him.
Yet he fell under the dark veil of death 
so that God might specially possess us.
Let me introduce you to who he is.
He is the Holy Nation.
He is perfect and the 
fullness of God’s kingdom.
Yet he left his kingdom of 
purity to take on our impurity.
He tarnished his holiness
by becoming sin for us.
Let me introduce you to who he is.
He is the Royal Priesthood.
There was no distance 
between himself and God.
Yet the Royal one was 
struck for our separation.
He took the blow for our absence.
Let me introduce you to who he is.
He is the Chosen One.
Before the foundations of the earth, he 
chose to stand alone to bring us to God.
That is who he is.
That is the identity of Jesus.
But there is even more.
So, let me introduce you 
to who you are now.
You are now the Chosen People.
No longer alone, you have been 
brought into a full and eternal family
with God himself as your father and 
the Prince of Peace as your brother.
Let me introduce you 
to who you are now.
You are now the Royal Priesthood.
You are the sons and daughters of 
the king who stand as a beacon of light
to a separated world that there is
 hope and there is access to the father.
Let me introduce you 
to who you are now.
You are now the Holy Nation.
You have been sprinkled with the 
blood of God’s perfect son so that, now,
all his goodness, all his righteousness, 
all his perfection is credited to you.
Let me introduce you 
to who you are now.
You are now God’s Special Possession.
You have been sealed for salvation.
You have been protected 
with perseverance.
He who bought you with his blood will never 
let you fall away for he loves you and he owns you.
This is who you were.
This is who he is.
This is who you are now.
This is your identity.
