Written by Peter Kreeft, a contemporary apologist, philosophy professor, and author.
The great divide, the eternal divide, is not between theists and atheists, or between happiness and unhappiness, but between seekers (lovers) and non-seekers (non-lovers) of the Truth (for God is Truth). We can seek health, happiness, or holiness; physical health, mental health, or spiritual health as our summum bonum, our greatest good. But Christ’s first question in John’s Gospel is the crucial one: “What do you seek?” This question determines what we will find, determines our eternal destiny, determines everything.
Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, “What do you seek?” [John 1:38]
