"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world (Jn 17:24).
There it is! What life is about! You and I exist to see the glory of Christ. In other words we are meant to see, savor and spread Jesus infinite worth and value. All meaning and purpose is wrapped up in those 4 simple words. You see, God the Father has delighted in Jesus the son for all eternity (John 14:26), and now, you and I are meant to share the same inexhaustible pleasure in the son, that the father has. If you miss this, you've missed the point of life.
Those 4 words literally turned my life around. The mind-blowing reality of Christianity is this: Jesus died to save sinners AND to give us eyes to see. For God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness, " made his light shine on our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Following Christ is a journey to know, enjoy, and treasure that which is most enjoyable-namely Jesus.
