The Meaning of Life

“What is the meaning of life?” Isn’t that one of the most tossed around philosophical questions of all time? Generation upon generation has struggled with the problem. Our society has decided that the answer is whatever a person wants it to be. One may say the meaning of one’s life is to have fun, get rich, then die…another may say the meaning of life is to be a good person…another may say it is to achieve your dreams…another may conclude there is no meaning. And then we believe each one may be correct, because they all believe it to be true. In other words, there is no absolute truth. As time passes, it seems fewer and fewer people consider God in the answer to the question.

What if we each sought the answer to this question: “What is my purpose?” Is it possible that God intended each of us to have a specific purpose? Is it possible he wants to see that purpose fulfilled in each of our lives?

I think He does have a purpose for each of us. Taking it a step further, I believe it is His desire that we each seek out His purpose for our lives on a daily basis. In a society that is trending downward to become less God-less and more self-focused, believers in Christ have even more of a call today to declare to others what our purpose here in this life truly is. As a believer, it is our duty to “offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is our spiritual act of worship” (Romans 12:1). Our purpose is to glorify God.

CrossLink has been founded on desire to link believers in Jesus Christ together throughout the Winchester community. Our target audience is the young adult generation. Specifically, young adults who may be connected with a local church, but may not have a ministry in that church directly targeting them. In our ministry plan, it is stated that CrossLink’s purpose is to provide a Christian community for young adults who are uniting to glorify God through worship, networking, and service in the Winchester area. First and foremost, we are here to glorify God! The CrossLink leadership team strongly believes that this Winchester community is primed for strong body of young adult believers from multiple churches in the area to come together and declare God as the sole purpose of our lives…to declare God as the meaning of life…to declare that we were made to live for Him.

As this purpose is carried out with monthly worship gatherings, weekly devotionals throughout our churches, daily personal relationship building with us and God, we will make a difference in this community. We will be a united front, showing this whole area that there is a way for believers to be united and not divided by church boundaries and walls. We can show that there is an absolute truth, and His name is Jesus. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) Jesus is the answer. Jesus is who we are to declare as the meaning of our life. And once we acknowledge Him as our Saviour and the Lord of our life, our purpose is to share that to the world and glorify Him by doing that! Join us!
