Describe yourself in one sentence

John 1:4  "In Him was life, and that life was the light of men."

To boil one's identity down to a one-line description seems impossible.  One line is not enough, it seems, to describe the complexities and many facets of a person. 

There are many one-line descriptions of Jesus we could extract from the Bible.  Each of the one-line descriptions of Jesus are severely incomplete and all encompassing, all at the same time.  While Jesus had complexities to Him and many characteristics and facets one could choose to include or exclude from a one-line description of Him, His true mission and identity was really very simple to state in a single line. While different words or characteristics could serve as the subject, all true descriptions of Jesus ultimately communicate the same message about who He is and why He came to live among us. 

When you have a central theme, identity or purpose, all roads lead to it.  Everything in your life is a reflection of your priorities and what you believe is your purpose.  What is my one-line description?  What is the central theme of my life that all one-line descriptions of myself should point toward?
