Meaning ( John 1 v1-5 )

 Is that all there is?,we are born ,live how many years and then we die, and that's it!, I have just finished reading a book  called,' Life change',in it 16 men tell their extraordinary stories.Those 16 people would as you would expect come from various backgrounds,a number of them were involved in crime ,drugs violence,but one was an entertainer ,another was an adventurer.The common denominator was they had no meaning to their lives,some had plenty of money,non of them believed in God.The question is what changed them?,what transformed their live?,or  should I say who changed them?. Let us ask the question first ,what is the meaning of life ?, why do we exist?, why? yes why?. Most live especially in our western society ,at a physical,and material level,that's it, so many are content to live at that level.But if for a moment we think about life at a deeper level, we may begin to ask the question ,surely there is more to life than this. People put a lot confidence in science, but they do not have the answer to the meaning of life.On a personal level ,there was a time when I had got away from the Lord ,and to me there didn't appear to much meaning to life,we are just here because of supposedly a freak accident,following a big bang.and planet earth with all the variety of life just happened of its own accord. Well thankfully like those 16 men  I found the answer in God through Jesus,we often here people say,that Christ is the meaning of Christmas He is , but He is more than that,He is the meaning of life.To get to know Him one must accept Him as their Saviour, and then all things will fall into place.
