Who is God?

It's as important of a question as it gets, and we get at it a lot from international listeners

especially.

We're going to address the question today and maybe on Monday as well.

This might bleed over into two episodes.

This particular question has come to us from listeners like Gamel, Olianka, Ezekiel,

Bobby, Zandy, Matthew, Giovanni, Jerry, Tom, and Esther.

Thank you for all the emails that have come in on this question.

They're all asking the same question to you, Pastor John.

Who is God?

I love it when people are clear enough and straightforward enough and honest enough

to ask straight out who is God.

And I think it's right and helpful to break that question sometimes into parts, namely,

how in the world can we even know the answer?

Where can we look?

Has God actually revealed the answer to the question somewhere?

And then, okay, if he has, who are you, God?

So when I put myself in the place of a person asking who is God, I can't help but think

that perhaps the first question someone should ask is, who in the world is John Piper?

Think he is to answer the greatest question in the world.

And the answer is that John Piper is a pointer.

The revelation of God to man does not happen in me.
