There's a story about an inquisitive 3 year old who was trying to get to the bottom of the mysteries of life.

"Mom" he would ask, "who made the stove?"

His mom, would respond back, "People made the stove."

Not be outsmarted, he would ask, "Well who made the people?"

"God made the people" she would reply.

This would go on with just about everything.

"Daddy who made the TV?"

"People made the TV." his father would reply.

"Well, who made the people?"

"God made the people."

And so it went for weeks on end this interrogation by the three year old.

Finally on the way to a family reunion as they were entering the airport the young boy exclaimed, "Mommy, daddy, come quick, look at the airplane.

I can see windows and doors and wheels and wings. Who made all of that?"

For the millionth time the exasperated parents replied, "People made all of those things." There was a short silence….."And I suppose God made the people….right?" "That's right" said his mother. But the conversation was not finished the little boy then asked: "Mom, just who is this God anyway?" That is the question before us this morning: Who is this God anyway?
