There once was a wise man who carefully observed life. His conclusion was not very encouraging:
“Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless… All things are wearisome, more than one can say.” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 and 8 NIV)
He watched people restlessly struggling to achieve all kinds of things, yet none of it had lasting value or stability. No matter how hard they worked, life just kept going on, and nothing really changed. Maybe you feel the same way. You are busy with all sorts of things—but what does it ultimately amount to?
Alongside your daily activities, you try to find meaning in life. Perhaps you are searching for God. You explore different religions and worldviews, but you remain restless. You do not find peace. The Lord Jesus offers you a hopeful alternative:
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NIV)With Him you find your purpose. With Him you find rest and peace. He gives your life real meaning.
Do you truly know Jesus? How has He changed your life?
