Thyself?

“What sayest thou of thyself?” In John 1, the priests and Levites, which were sent from the Pharisees, ask John this question.

What would your answer be?

“What sayest thou of thyself?” I’m a mother.
“What sayest thou of thyself?” I’m a teacher.
“What sayest thou of thyself?” I’m a student.
“What sayest thou of thyself?” I’m a photographer.

What did John reply? “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord…”

What do we say we are? Is our first response what John’s was? Do you say, “I’m a Christian, leading souls to the Savior.”? Or, do we immediately think of something that has no bearing on eternity?
