Notes:
We begin at the wrong starting point when we look for purpose in life .....
We ask self centred questions ... What do I want to be? Goals, ambitions, dreams, etc
You must begin with God .... In God is our origin, identity, meaning, purpose, significance and destiny
We were made for God and life is about letting God use us for his purposes ... You can reach all your personal goals and be a success by the world's standards, but still miss God's purpose ..... Self sacrifice is the way to finding your true self.
God is the starting point and source of your life, it is in God's word, not world's wisdom.
Thoughts:
How very different are God's standards and measures than the world's. Jesus talked about first will be last and God's ways seeming foolish to those using human thoughts and standards.
Jesus talked of sacrifice, serving others, issues with wealth and always came back to the truth will set you free. Our world vision of freedom .... Speech, choice, movement ... Completely different to what Jesus is talking about ... Almost a complete reversal of human logic ... But maybe that is the point?
