At the end of the 2005 movie, “Smoke” starring Harvey Keitel, he tells a story about chasing down a kid who was shoplifting in his store. The kid drops his wallet but gets away from Auggie (Keitel’s character). Auggie, then decided to take the wallet home but doesn’t do anything with it for a while. He lets it sit on his dresser for a long long while – in fact, up to Christmas. On Christmas, however, Auggie (Keitel’s character) decides that he’s going to return the wallet to the address on the drivers license in the wallet. 
When he arrives, he knocks on the door and the voice of an old frail woman calls out from the door, “Roger? is that you?” Now Roger is the name of the kid on the driver’s license. Auggie doesn’t say anything for a long while, and she repeats her question, “Roger, is that you?” And finally, Auggie says, “yeah grandma, it’s me, Roger.” The grandmother is elated, “Oh, it’s so good to have you here, Roger…” They feast and laugh and have a good time together.
Auggie goes on to say how he knew that the old lady knew that he wasn’t Roger, but the both of them enjoyed playing like her grandson had finally come home to spend Christmas with his grandmother.
Sometimes, we can feel a little like Auggie. We show up at God the Father’s door, wrapped in the identity of Jesus given to us in our Baptisms. Now we’re not pulling one over on God. He knows who we are. He knows our sins and our failures and the illegitimacy of our showing up on His doorstep. But He treats us as Christ. He invites us in, pours the best wine, brings us the greatest gifts.
Remember this week: You are Jesus to God the Father because of Your Baptism. And He loves His Jesus so so much.
