Our Cross Purpose!
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light."
1 Peter 2: 9
If you browsed through The Economic Times in October 2021,
then perhaps you saw the editorial titled “Life Has No Purpose.”
The writer said, “The most significant thing to remember is that life
is not a business. It does not exist for any particular end. It exists for
sheer joy of existing. There's no goal as such.”[1] The writer blasted
the concept of purposefulness, saying life is supposed to be nothing
but sheer joy, playfulness, fun. It’s not to fulfill some purpose, just to
be fulfilling within itself.
Most people don’t state their philosophy of life that plainly,
but that’s a fair description of how much of the world lives.
“But you are not like that, for you have been chosen by God himself,
you're priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God’s very
own, all this so that you may show to others how God called you out
of the darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9, TLB).
What a blessing to know that
God has a purpose for each of us.
"Worship is what
we were made for."
