A Life of Significance

Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Vail, Colorado

The illusion of this picture is that this white flowering plant is growing on top of the rock. It appears to be growing where it shouldn't.  It is impossible for roots to find nutrients on hardened rock. Maybe that's the way your life feels. Your're looking for nutrients yet you feel starved.

"I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35 English Standard Version

We know how to purchase physical food, but what about the hunger for significance? Where does it come from? Is there a convenience store that sells significance?

There is the illusion that somehow we'll find a way to purchase significance. The question is not whether it's possible to live a significant life, but from where do we derive our significance?

We'll discover significance when we digest Christ.

You cannot buy significance. Instead, you have been purchased by Christ. Your significance is rooted in Jesus and what he has declared you to be.

Through Christ, you are precious to God. And since you are precious to him, your life is significant.
