Who Am I
Donald Cantrell
2 Samuel 7:18
Thanksgiving Sermon
2Sa 7:18 KJV - Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Theme: ‘‘We have so much to thank God for in choosing us’’
I - The Heartfelt Perplexity and Confusion
II - The Heavenly Pick and Concession
III - The Highest Praise and Celebration
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
Several years ago, Time Magazine featured a story about Peter Sellers, a well-known English actor (prob. best known as Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther movies). The article was about him appearing on the Muppet Show and being interviewed by Kermit the Frog. His interview began with Kermit telling Peter, ‘‘Now, just relax and be yourself.’’
Peter Sellers responded, ‘‘I can’t be myself because I don’t know who I am. The real me doesn’t exist.’’
He was probably trying to be funny, because he was a comedian by trade. But on this particular occasion his words were anything but funny. In fact, they were rather sad.
One of his long time friends, commenting on those words, said, ‘‘Poor Peter, the real Peter disappeared a long time ago. What he is now is simply an amalgamation of all the stage and screen characters he has ever played, and now he is frantically trying to unsnarl that mess and find out who he really is.’’
We don’t know if Peter Sellers was ever able to unsnarl the mess or not; just six months later he died of a heart attack. But, he certainly wasn’t alone in his feelings. Many people go through life wondering who they are, and what they’re supposed to be doing, and where they’re going.
Psa 8:3 KJV - When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Psa 8:4 KJV - What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
