Since the beginning of time, people have sought to understand their purpose and identity. In essence, they have pondered the questions, “Who am I, and why do I exist?” Looking for purpose in financial success, accruing possessions, relationships, or pleasure will always leave us wanting more.
Without Christ, we search over and over again and come up short because He is the only One who can satisfy our greatest needs and deepest desires. Augustine said, “Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”
Christ came to show us who God is in a way that our minds and hearts could understand. He came to show us by His own experience that He understands us and what we’re going through, and He wants a relationship with us. The Almighty God, El Shaddai, came to show Himself to the world through the physical person of Jesus Christ, never once diminishing who He is as God.
