The 'big questions'
Commentary
Every child asks her mother “Where did I come from?” Every teenager asks “Who am I?” Every man and woman asks “What is my place in my family? In my community? In the universe?” Although we have churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples all over the world, everyone still asks “How can I know God? Does God know me? Does God love me?” Humans all over the world fear the unknown, and therefore want to know the Creator, to gain God’s favor, and every religion has some formula for gaining God’s favor.
