John 17:1-5 - Jesus's prayer, help them remember the true meaning of life
Rev Ricky Ho
Introduction
*The title is a thought provoking question
*What do we have to do to find this meaning?
*Is it possible to live our entire lives and never find true meaning
*Different people give different meaning on the true meaning of life
*Some believe life has no meaning
*Life is not found in general knowledge
*Knowledge is important but can't put that equal with God
*Background of John's Godspel-gnosticism presented a major challenge to Christianity
*As important as knowledge is general knowledge of what we consider important in our world will not necessarity lead us to find true meaning of life
2. It is not found in this world
*listen to God and hear what he wants us to do
3. It is found in a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ
*Jesus makes this very plain in many of his teachings
*true meaning - faith in Jesus Christ
*Many things can add meaning to life, but cannot bring true meaning of life
*God has a purpose for you to live whatever the cause may be
*When God gives you another extra day, live today at its best, (Like theres No Tomorrow!)
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
