Life With Purpose
Shalom and Greetings to you all from MTBC!
God is truly amazing, and His kindness and love never ceases – it’s always astounding. I trust that you have all somehow experienced Him in a very unique and great way these past 3 months in your life, family and ministry. Amen!
I want to share a short thought with you from Jeremiah 9:24 regarding living and serving with PURPOSE in Jesus.
Jeremiah 9:24, “But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!” [NIV]
When YOU buy an expensive item that comes with a warranty, the warranty often requires that servicing on the item be performed by an authorized repair center. WHY the “authorized” requirement?
Because the manufacturer’s technicians KNOW the workings of YOUR item better than anyone else, they know how to extend the efficiency and the life-span of the product.
And the same IS true for us and OUR Creator. For prolonging OUR life and living it with the utmost purpose and fulfillment, NOTHING is more important than knowing OUR Creator.
The world boasts of finding purpose in strength, riches, status, or power (Jeremiah 9:23), but WE MUST agree with the apostle Paul WHO agreed with the prophet Jeremiah: “As it is written, ‘He who glories, let him glory in [understanding and knowing] the Lord’.”
- 1 Corinthians 1:31, “That, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” [NIV]
- 2 Corinthians 10:17, “But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” [NIV]
Life is LIVED against the backdrop of eternity, and eternal life is KNOWING God and Jesus Christ WHOM He has sent. Amen!
John 17:3, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” [NIV]
- Francis Schaeffer says – ‘Man, made in the image of God, has a purpose – to be in relationship to God, who is there.’
Let’s seek to live and serve the Lord Jesus Christ in the PURPOSE of His calling upon you and in His plan. May you be BLESSED beyond your comprehension.
May your April be a great month living and serving in God’s PURPOSE for your life. Amen!
Sincerely,
Rev. Christopher Mun
