DO
YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
The following story is told about a
United Airlines gate agent in Denver, Colorado who was confronted with a
passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo:
During the final days at Denver's old
Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was canceled. A single
agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his
way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and
said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST
CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry
sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these
folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed.
He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do
you have any idea who I am?"
Without hesitating, the gate agent
smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have
your attention please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout
the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES
NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity,
please come to gate 17."
The folks behind him in line began
laughing hysterically. Although the flight was canceled and people
were late, they were no longer angry at United.
I grew up in a time when people spent
a lot of time trying to "find themselves" (though I never
quite figured out exactly what they were looking for). Do we
have any idea who we are? Those of us who are Christians are
children of God. That doesn't make us "special", but it
does give meaning to our lives.
"For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the
spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption
by whom we cry out, 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit Himself bears witness
with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs
-- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with
Him, that we may also be glorified together." (Romans 8:14-17)
Have a great day!
