And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him,
“Where art thou?” (Gen. 3.).
Coming to the New Testament, the first question asked by man is,
“Where is He?” (Matt. 2).
In the Genesis it is God in quest of fallen man,
Where art thou?
In the Gospel it is fallen man in quest of God,
Where is He?
One is also reminded of one of the questions asked in the oldest book in the world—Job:
“But man dieth and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the Ghost, and Where is he?”
Surely, every divine question deserves an answer? Reader, hear the voice of God from Eden, say, Where art thou? Art thou in darkness or in light; in life or in death? Which?
Art thou in Christ or in thy sins? Which?
It isn't a question of what you are, neither is it of what you have done, the question is, Where art thou? How do you stand in relation to God, to Christ and the Bible?
Where art thou?
By nature and practice, man is lost. If left to himself, he should be eternally lost.
Again, the voice of the seeking Savior cries, Where art thou?
Friend, shall you as the lost, yet seeking sinner cry,
“Where is He?” 'Tis to you He replies,
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock.”
“He is not far from every one of us.”
“For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Sinner, you are lost! Saved you can be.
Saved, and saved forever.
Where art thou?
