The good news of life with Jesus is that we are no longer bound to old identities. Identities that were placed on us by family, or nationality, skin colour, body shape, education, income, popularity or ability. By what we have done, or was done to us. In his letter to the Colossians the Apostle Paul makes clear – who  you once were, what you did, what was done, how people labeled you – those old things are buried with Jesus, and as Christians we have a new identity as people being transformed by the love of God.
