By South Morrow County Ministerial Association
In the eighteen years that I have been an ordained priest in the Episcopal
church, I have talked and counseled many about the meaning of life More
times than I can remember I have seen people grasping to find an answer
to that question
Many speak to me of confusion, despair, and some arc angry w ith God
What then, arc we to make of life, when there is enough nuc lear explosives
stockpiled for mankind to destroy itself fifty thousand tunes over, and when
the population of the world is expected to double in twenty-five years, and
already thirty million die each year because they arc loo hungry to live
Wc can understand why there is such confusion Indeed, there seems to
be no answer to such problems, as violence, strife, strikes, mental illness,
economic crisis, and to the contusion which exists at every level from per
sonal to international Moreover, this bewilderment considerably increases
the sense of futility which so many feel today
Where can wc find a clear sense of direction * Is there any purpose to
life at all? 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.
