IS THERE A MEANING TO LIFE

At an average, 150,000 people die everyday and pass out from this world. Medical Science is doing all it can to make man immortal and it will utterly fail. The hyperbaric chamber, the Plastic surgeon, liposuction and all the face lift can not prevent aging or death.

If Life is so precious that nobody wants to die what is the meaning of life then?"
How can I find purpose, fulfillment, and satisfaction in life? Will I have the potential to accomplish something of lasting significance?

So many people have never stopped to consider what the meaning of life is. They look back years later and wonder why their relationships have fallen apart and why they feel so empty even though they may have achieved what they set out to accomplish. One baseball player who made it to the baseball hall of fame was asked what he wished someone would have told him when he first started playing baseball. He replied, "I wish that someone would have told me that when you reach the top, there's nothing there." Many goals reveal their emptiness only after years have been wasted in their pursuit.

In our humanistic society, people pursue many purposes, thinking that in them they will find meaning. Some of these pursuits include: business success, wealth, good relationships, sex, entertainment, doing good to others, etc. People have testified that while they achieved their goals of wealth, relationships, and pleasure, there was still a deep void inside -- a feeling of emptiness that nothing seemed to fill.

The author of Ecclesiastes states this feeling when he said, "Meaningless! Meaningless!...Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." This author had wealth beyond measure, wisdom beyond any man of his time or ours, women in the hundreds, palaces and gardens that were the envy of kingdoms, the best food and wine, and had every form of entertainment available. And he said at one point, that anything that his heart wanted, he pursued. And yet he summed up "life under the sun" (life lived as though all there is to life is what we can see with our eyes and experience with our senses) is meaningless! Why is there such a void? Because God created us for something beyond what we can experience in the here-and-now. Solomon said of God, "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men..." In our hearts we are aware that this "here-and-now" is not all that there is.

The bible states that death came into action because of Sin. It declares that the wages of Sin are death. By Adam’s sin death came upon all and we all have to taste death. Do we have a chance to be immortal….yes, we still have. There is a way out. The Bible says without Shedding of Blood (Sinless Blood....all the Animal or Human blood sacrificies are invalid) there is no remission of Sin. Therefore man can do nothing to redeem himself from death. But the Good news is Jesus, who was sinless was sacrificed for you and for me. By His Sinless Blood poured out on the cross, our Sins are washed away and we are redeemed to have Life…Life Eternal…

Try Jesus today...your life will never be meaningless...
