Peter Gordon White, in one of hýs sermons, nsked, 'Have you ,-ier heard anyone say, "I'm not myeelf today?" Then be asks the qutstion, "Well, if you are not yourself, who are you?" You may answer, "Let the dreamers and the eccentries be concerned Witb that I'm a practicai, down-to-eartb, b-usy person with a 1f e to live and a iob f0 do.

In place of that, he chose the thmngs that dragged hlm down and wasted his 1f e. We love the story because eventually, "rwhen he came to blmseif" he returned to bis ioving father who was waiting, filled witb happiness ai bis lost son's returri. An impo'rt- nnit phrase in the story is "'when he carne to himnself". He hadn't been himself. Hie began to dis- cover who he really was - he found th at out in relationshlp to bis father. We can only knOW Who we are through our relationship with God, our Father. We can go through 1f e Jost, fnot knowlng who we are, flot living Up to the potential of our 1f e becnuse we don't have the right relationshiP witli God.

This'is n ýdeep subjeet, but in a generni way, h con ho said that1 thi, purpose of 1f e is to know who we are, because it invoive s rnany tbazsgs. Reaily, that is wby Jesus came, that is why the Christian Chn:rch exists. Until we find oui vjb<ý we are, we are iost. A f ew insights into the early, quiet years of Jesus seem to in- ,dicate that Jesus wa:s seeking to discover whoLie really was. This seekiag continued tbrough H115 temptations and subsequent ex- I)eTriences with people. There carne ,the time when Jesus began to re- axize that LiHe was renliy the "Son cf God" in a spociai sense and the "_ýeufring Servant" spoken of by the prophet in the Old Testament. Lie began to realize that Lie wns toi ROuYAL into rnaturity. So, in a sense, I don't know wbo I arn - I con oniy know it as I allow GodI to show me and to iead me. Each day that I waik cloâe1y with God, Lie shows me sometbing more about myseif. Tbe dloser I live with Lim, tbe more Lie shows me and uniess I lot God show me who I arn, I arn lost. I arn not my true self. In our Scripture lesson to-day we rend of Jesus being confrontod by the crowds. Some of the people said, "Lie is besîde hinseif." They meant Lie was a little out of 1115 mind. They said that because tbey dldn't see the real Jesus or His true Self, Lie wns concerned with the multitude. Josus came to know wbo Lie really was. In being show us that oniy as we submit our lives to God, and only as we are cioseiy associnted with the n.eods of humanity, -can we know wbo we are.
