Is Life Meaningful For You?

Life could well be mundane if you have not found your purpose and meaning. Each day you wake up and go through pretty much the same routine until you hit the sack again at night, day in, day out.

"Hope of Life" by Charmaine

Thankfully, there are the weekends and public holiday breaks as well as special occasions like birthdays and weddings plus refreshing experiences such as overseas travel, training courses and hobbies to pursue. 

You could well be diligently improving your capabilities, charting your career progression, generating good returns on your investment and maybe even expanding your businesses. But, is that all there is to life? 

The following excerpt from the Book of Ecclesiastes conveys to us how meaningless life may appear:-

"These are the words of the Teacher, King David’s son, who ruled in Jerusalem.

“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!”

What do people get for all their hard work under the sun? 

Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes. 

The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again. 

The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles. Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea. 

Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.

History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new." -- Ecclesiastes 1: 1 - 9 (NLT)

Indeed if you see life only within the boundaries of this world ("under the sun") and your lifespan, life will not be very meaningful. 

Let the following expository sermon by Pastor Benny Ho enlighten you on how to find your Master, Mission and Meaning.
