Knowing Who You Are

Bishop John Reed told about two sailors who arrived by boat in England. Their first night ashore, they went into a bar and drank themselves silly. At the end of the evening they walked out of the bar unsteady on their feet. Looking into the dense London fog, they were unable to find their way back to their ship.

Then they saw a gentleman coming into the bar. Unknown to them, he was a highly decorated British naval officer. One of the sailors approached him and said, “Say, you bloke, can you tell us where we are?" The officer, offended by the insulting way they addressed him, snarled and said, “Do you men know who I am?” At this point, one sailor looked at the other and said, “We’re really in a mess now. We don’t know where we are. And he doesn’t know who he is.”

It would be tragic to go through life and not know who you are. Read the Bible and you’ll find out. In a nutshell you are the crown of God’s creation, made in his image and the object of his love and Christ’s salvation.

You are someone special.
