<p>Jesus Wants Us to Live a Life for a Purpose ㅡ</p><p><span> </span></p><p> “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27)</p><p><span> </span></p><p> “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” (Matthew 16:27)</p><p><span> </span></p><p> We should live for the next world. It is so wretched to live a haphazard, aimless life. We want an object in life—to live for a purpose.</p><p><span> </span></p><p> God helps us all to be self-sacrificing, less self-caring, more forgetful of self and selfish interest; and to do good, not for the honor we expect to receive here, but because this is the object of our life and will answer the end of our existence.</p><p><span> </span></p><p> Let our daily prayer go up to God that He will divest us of selfishness.</p><p><span> </span></p><p> Those who live for a purpose, seeking to benefit and bless their fellow men and to honor and glorify their Redeemer, are the truly happy ones on the earth.</p><p><span> </span></p><p>(Our High Calling 242)</p>
