1 John 3 (The Message)
1 What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to.
2-3But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own.
Sunday I watched the Broncos play the Patriots and as usual Tim Tebow was the topic of much conversation. This verse came to mind as l listened to all the different opinions being expressed. I like the way the Message put this section of scripture because it captures the bewildered gaze that most of the world views Tim Tebow with.
I am not being scrutinized in the way Mr. Tebow is, but I wonder if my life is such a strange puzzle to the lost folks around me. It’s a good question to ask yourself.
