W HAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT? It seems purposeless to me,” was the statement of a young woman to a counselor. She continued, “We study long and hard for an education, get a job and work or get married, grow old, too old to do much, live on for a while, and then it is all over.” To be realistic, this is the outlook for peo ple who have not received Christ as their Saviour and have not en tered on the great adventure of the Christian life. Many seem quite satisfied to take life just as it comes, but for all there are moments of disillusionment and misgiving. Plans didn’t work out as expected. The promotion of the job didn’t materialize; there was a slump in the stock market; business became slack and men were out of employment. There were family mis understandings and the dream bub ble of a happy married life burst in a divorce court. “What is it all about?” is the perplexing question in the face of these disappointments. “What is it all about?” Have you an adequate satisfying answer for an enthusiastic, energetic young per son looking ahead for success and fulfillment; for a busy, successful adult, steadily advancing on the ladder to achievement in secular life; for the person who has seen his dream castle become a pile of rubble? To a Christian, the great purpose of life is to know Christ and live in His will. Can you present this to anyone with sincerity and enthusi asm? God says to a young person: “Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” .He also warns in His Word, “ Seek the Lord while He may be found.” Jesus said “ Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His right eousness: and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matt. 6:33). Christians can offer to others a great purpose in life that will never end in disappointment and disillu sionment. Their search for a great purpose or goal will be satisfied. It will be a growing stimulation and sense of security as the years pass, adequate for every condition and situation in life. This is God’s pur pose for living.
