The half-truth in today’s sermon is “Identity is a secret puzzle.” On one level, life does require some exploration so you can understand what makes you uniquely recognizable. On another level, to build a life in this manner results in ever-fluid, ever-unstable, and ever-changing
“you”. Is that our best option? Or is there a grander story that we are a part of, where identity isn’t achieved but received, where we’re not adrift but secure?
