During the civil war in China a communist was about to be executed by nationalist forces. He managed to tear the bandage from his eyes and, before his body was riddled with bullets, he shouted, "I'm dying for an ideal. What are you living for?" His words should certainly challenge us all. Some live to make money or further a career but have nothing that could be called a cause.
On trial before Pontius Pilate Jesus said, For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world that I should bear witness to the truth" (John 18.37 NKJV)
I believe that our destiny is to make the cause of Jesus Christ our own. That will invest our lives with the meaning and significance it must otherwise lack.
