Our Secret Admirer
Some of you remember a standard old movie plot, where an actress or dancer would receive a dozen roses after her performance. The card is signed, "Secret Admirer." The tension of the plot lay in discovering who the secret admirer was.
Finally, he reveals himself, they go out for dinner, fall in love, get married and, in the good old days, live happily ever after.
From the beginning, we have been hungry to know, "Who is this 'Secret Admirer,' this God who made me?" There was a heart cry from man, and God revealed who he is and what he is like by sending his son.
Jesus said, "No one knows the Son except the Father. No one knows the Father except the Son. No one knows the Son except the Father reveals him to him." So how do we know God? We know God because of Jesus.
