Have you ever written your name and address in the front cover of a textbook? Sometimes, just for fun, you may have written the longest, most complete address you could think of. When one student in the United States did this, his address looked like this:
J. Smith
Apartment 605
431 Mayweather Boulevard
Commontown, CA
USA
North America
Planet Earth
The Solar System
The Milky Way Galaxy
The Universe

What about in God’s eyes? Where do you fit in God’s universe?
My Identity in Christ seeks to help you answer these questions and more. All of us must choose for ourselves—What do we believe? Why be a Christian? We are made in the image of our Creator. And He thinks you’re valuable—in fact, He thinks you’re worth dying for.

It is Sabbath. Sometimes, I would get home late, distracted by an after-school football game; I would then have to face my mother, and the bamboo rod never failed to leave its marks.
