Scripture Focus: "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."

Reflection:

1 John 3:2 invites us into a profound mystery and promise. As believers, we are already children of God, a status that brings with it an inherent dignity and worth. Yet, there's an element of the unknown, a future glory that awaits us. This verse assures us that our ultimate destiny is to be transformed into the likeness of Christ Himself. This transformation will be complete when we see Jesus face to face, in His full glory. Until then, we live in this tension of the 'already' and the 'not yet.'
