Becoming One of God's Children

Some 30 years after the Korean War, the Korean broadcasting System launched a program to help people locate family members who had been lost since the war. The result? Over 11,000 people were reunited with their loved ones-with tears, cries, hugs and all.  The Korean Times reported;  "Never before in their history have the Korean people shed so many tears of joy spontaneously and simultaneously." 

In Brazil, Cezar was given away as a baby in payment for a debt.  Some ten years later,he was so happy to find his real mother that he left his wealthy foster parents to live with her. 

How family members rejoice when they find one another after being separated and lost!   The Bible describes how humans were tragically separated from God's family. It also tells how they are now being joyfully united.  How did this happen?  And how can you share in that joy?
