Most contempory thinkers seem alnaisi haunted by the problem of meaningless existence Why did Karl Jung say that the central neurosis of our time is emptiness'* Why is there constant confusion ’ Not always out wardly obvious, but often to be found in more reflective moments The reason is this Lite has no ultimate meaning apart from God Indeed, (kid has given each of us a large spiritual appetite which cannot be satisfied by anything less than himself Therefore. Jesus came as "The Bread of Life" to satisfy our hunger, and as "the light of the world" to give us directum and purpose In one of his most famous invitations. Jesus once said (his "Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, take my yoke upon you and learn from me. for I am gentle and lowley m heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for tn> yoke is easy and my burden is light” I want to look more closely at this invitation, and ask five questions about it I ) Who can come? 2) Why should 1 come ’ 3) What happens if I come * 4) On what condition do I come? 5)How do I come* Obviously. 1 will not he able to answer all these questions in this article, hut I will begin and conclude on another occasion I Who can come? Answer In the words of Jesus " All who labor and are heavy laden". This is therefore a selective invitation, it is not for everyone It is for those who arc tired of the pressures and problems in their lives Until 1 am personally conscious of my need, therefore, and I am willing to admit it. Christ has nothing for me. My particular problem might not he confusion or meaningless, it might he something quite dif ferent But most of our problems ultimately arc symptoms of a much more deep rooted problem which is common to every person Paul once expressed it like this "There is no distinction, since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God " Wc have all gone our own way, and have broken God's laws Wc all need the help and forgiveness of Jesus Christ It is this incscapcablc tact of sin which blinds our spiritual understanding, makes God seem unreal ami robs life of its true meaning Once we realize this, and humbly admit it, Christ s invitation is intensely relevant “ Come to me all who labor and arc heavy laden” Why should I come ’ In practice many people do not have strong feelings about their need of (kxl Feelings anyway, arc frequently misleading Rather wc should humbly accept the objective diagnosis of our true condition Since Ckxl id God, what he has to say about our nerds is of the utmost importance Mis authority is supreme Indeed, Christ frequently made it unmistakcamy clear that as king ol kings, and laird of Lords, he alone has the right to speak on all the greatest issues of life and death His invitation therefore, like all royal invitations, is a command lhc question of whether or not wc happen to tcel the need is comparatively unimportant In the physical realm there is a condition called euphoria, when someone may seem sur prisingly well, but in tact is very sick There can also be a spiritual euphoria The first step toward knowledge of (kxl lies therefore, in a humble ac ceptance of his authority over our lives When Jesus tells us "repent, and believe in the gospel” this is not good advice to those who happen to be conscious of sonic need It is a command In the New Testament, the alter native before us is clearly expressed several times Either we believe in Christ or wc disobey him Since he is Dird of all. to whom one day every person must submit, this must be so John wrote "whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, whoever divoheys the Son will never have life, hut God’s wrath will remain on him forever And Paul once said that (kid's judgement would one day come on those "who do not know (kxl, and who do not obey the gixxl news about our Lord Jesus In a future article. I will answer questions 3, 4 and 5 May (kxl's bless ings rest upon you as you walk in his ways.
