What Does It Mean to Be Human

Fellow Labourers-

Do you remember the phrase "To err is human" suggesting our susceptibility to failure. Philosophers from time immemorial have been grappling with this fact. Sociologists are still trying to understand our humanness. I agree with the writer that the Christian faith gives us a better understanding of who we are. In an attempt to understand our humanity we tend to go as far back as our mind can take us until it appears we reach a point of nothingness. But, "Nothingness is the barrier that faces the human intellect."

I am satisfied to know that I am made in the image of the eternal God, and to know it is in Him that I live and move and have my being. What about you?

Pax Vobiscum
