The richest man in the world, Croesus, once asked the wisest man in the world, Thales, What is God?
The philosopher asked for a day in which to deliberate &
then for another & then for another & another - and at length confessed that he was not able
to answer, that the longer he deliberated, the more difficult it was for him to
frame an answer.
The
fiery Tertullian, the early Church Father, eagerly seized upon this incident
& said it was an example of the world's ignorance of God outside of Christ.
"There," he
exclaimed, "is the wisest man in the world & he cannot tell you who
God is. But the most ignorant mechanic among the Christians knows God and is
able to make Him known unto others."
