Beloved, now we are children of God. - 1 John 3:2


The story is told that the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) was sauntering through Berlin's famous Tiergarden one day, mentally probing the questions of origin and destiny that had been constantlu perplexing him: Who am I? Where am I going?

A park-keeper, closely observing the shabbily dressed philosopher as he walked slowly with head bowed, suspected that Schopenhauer and demanded, "Who are you? Where are you going?" With a pained expression, Schopenhauer replied, "I don't know. I wish somebody could tell me."

Are you ever perplexed by those same questions? Who am I? Where am I going? What a comfort it is to ave God's authoritative answers in the Bible. Who are we? In 1 John 3, John calls his readers "children of God" (v. 2). We become His children by receiving Jesus as our Savior from sin (John 1:12). And where are we going? John 14:1-6 tells us that one day He will receive us into a home He is preparing in heaven.

Our Maker is not only the Author of science and history, but He writes the story od every member of Adam's family - yours and mine. We can trust His answers. - Vernon C. Grounds


Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear. - Scott
