Jack London a famous author said ,' 'The function of man is to live. Not to exist'', he lived a very full life ,what he said has a ring of truth about it. It meant not being a couch potato ,of putting effort into life and he did that. But there is a greater meaning to these words,our Saviour came that we may have life,and have it abundantly.I believe that what people call life is a life without Christ, and that can only be described as an existence, without Christ, life will always be just an existence,and when one dies it will still be just an existence.A life without God is missing the true meaning of life ,everything is but an anti climax without God. I asked a lady how she was keeping,she replied in a negative way,and I said to her that Christ makes all the difference for life ,and for eternity.Most people live just for the here and now,with not a thought for eternity, the prodigal went looking for a life that he thought would be wonderful, but it did not turn out that way. We have a choice if we really want to live and not just exist, the answer is very simple, Christ.
O what emptiness without a Saviour,
Mid the sins and sorrow here below!
And eternity,how dark without Him!
Only tears and endless woe!
What though I might live without the Saviour,
When I come to die what will it be?
O to face the valley's gloom without Him?
And without Him all eternity!.
Words David Hanson.
