TRUE FULFILMENT IS IN CHRIST

For in him we live and move and have our being… (Acts 17:28 NIV). 

Man was made in the image of God, and that’s why even the natural man possesses incredible capacity and potentials. Throughout history, we’ve witnessed remarkable advancements and innovations that have shaped the world. Consider man’s accomplishments through the ages in technology, arts and sciences.

These achievements are undoubtedly impressive, but there’s more to life than these. We know that despite accomplishing amazing feats, many still find themselves grappling with an underlying sense of emptiness; they create things to make life easier, thinking it will bring happiness, yet they find themselves dissatisfied.

For instance, think of a professor who has acquired immense knowledge, yet struggles with the meaning of “life.” He has no peace or satisfaction despite his intellectual prowess and tragically decides to end his life. How sad! This stark example illustrates that no matter how much knowledge or success one attains, true fulfilment is in Christ and Christ alone. 

Even today, many have gotten to a point where they’re asking, “Why are we here?” They’ve accumulated so much on earth, but are still searching for fulfilment. Or consider those with so much fame who still find themselves asking, “Where’s the joy?” History is replete with stories of wealthy individuals who, despite their riches, felt empty and unfulfilled.

There was a very wealthy man many years ago who came from a wealthy family. Despite all his riches, he said, “I don’t know why I am not happy. Maybe I should try poverty because that is one thing I have never experienced.” He gave up everything and decided to live as a hermit in isolation. But even then, he didn’t find joy, because true fulfilment in life isn’t found in this world but in Christ.

Christ is the source of all joy, all peace, and all fulfilment. Outside of Him, everything is fleeting and meaningless. In Him, you find the meaning of life, the purpose for which you were created, and the true joy that transcends circumstances. In Christ, you find all of God’s goodness. Hallelujah!

Prayer / Confession

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for being my source of true fulfilment, joy and peace. You’re my reason for being; my satisfaction and pure delight come from my relationship with you by the Holy Spirit. And I thank you for helping me bring many others into the same glorious life of purpose, eternal joy and true fulfilment. Amen.
