JONATHAN
Hi, I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central – A United Methodist Community. “What’s the purpose?” I often ask this question when my curious mind seeks to know why something exists. From a painting in an office to the vacant building on the corner of anywhere, I simply desire to know the purpose. Humans place meaning and value on several things, but what about purpose?
For something to have a purpose, I assume that it carries a daily meaning and function. Can you think of something that you use on a daily basis in order to function? What about our purpose as humanity? What about our purpose as followers of Jesus Christ?
Our purpose is our mission, which is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our purpose is bigger than ourselves, and God invites us to join in something global. Now, that’s purpose! That’s a reason to exist. That’s a reason to live!
Are there things in your life that serve no purpose? What are they? Allow time for God to reveal them to you this day.
