MMMMMMMMMM Mysteries
There are
many mysteries in life. How the universe works and stays in perfect balance is
one. Not too many planets seem to get out of their orbit. At least that is what we have observed for a
very long time. I would have to say, that the shepherds that looked up into the
night sky when Jesus was born probably saw the same thing we see when we look
up into the night sky tonight. All is in perfect harmony.
Closer to
home, we ask ourselves, why was I born and what is my purpose in life? We are
not the first to ask that question. Rick Warren in his book, ‘The Purpose
Driven Life’ looked at that same question and he wasn’t the first. We can also go back 469 years to the
Westminster Shorter Catechism and discover that people were wrestling with
these self-same question and were able to figure it out in many ways that
helped them understand an unfathomable reality.
The
Westminster Dialog answered the question of what is the chief end of man. They
answered, ‘Glorify God and enjoy Him forever’.
Really? That’s all it is? Interestingly they discovered more than just
that. And just like those learned men, we to can find out what our chief end
is. In all cases, it comes out of the same conclusion but the journey to
discover is always the highlight of finding real truth.
Recently I
listened to Steve Brown and he said something that is so moving. He mention
someone else realizing that as you get older, that best thing you can do is be
the person you needed when you were younger. I have discovered the millennials
will listen to old people. They are looking for someone to show them the way.
The best thing we can show them is the Jesus we follow. And that is the answer
for that particular mystery.
Something
to think about.
