The Word:
Meaning In Life: the study of Ecclesiastes
part 1
Ecclesiastes 1:3-4
What does it profit a man of all of his labor which he takes under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides forever.
Today I begin a new series - I will do this series every other week - on the weeks I don't do this - I will just do open word - I will just do various devotionals on various topics - another words go where the LORD leads me-
This current series will ask and attempt to answer the age old question -what are we here for....and now without further adieu - here it is........
This world in which we live in is full of questions - one of the most popular is the meaning of life - some feel its getting all you can now - and worry about the consequences later - another school of thought is to get as much education as you can and get that all elusive high paying and high pressure job - still others feel that its showing their worldly power through politics or still others the meaning of life is just pleasure for themselves at any cost - all this is just toil under the sun says the author of Ecclesiates. We can do many things to find meaning in our lives - but in the end -what is left behind - if we are not spreading the gospel to the lost and dying world around us -our mission here is not complete - Jesus came and died for us - He took our sins away the effects are now gone from a spiritual standpoint, there are still consequences for our actions though. All we have and all we all belongs to God - He made us - He saved us and He wants a relationship with us! The meaning of life should be bringing glory to God our Father! We must be about our Father's business - we need to be willing to train up the next generation -we must be willing to plug into Christ so that through us the world will see HIM! What does it profit to gain the whole world but lose our soul? This is a great question -think about this today! Life does not have to meaningless - Christ is our meaning!
The Final Word:
If you are not living for CHRIST - then you really are not living!

CHRIST came to bring us life - abundant life at that!
