Have you ever asked yourself this question?
WHY are you here?
Why are we here? Is it to make a lot of money? Be somebody in the world? Be the best xxxx in the world?
Why is it that we are here? Why are YOU here?
The late Albert Einstein said that "Man is here to serve other men." Man as in mankind.
Hmmm, makes one think, doesn't it?
Jesus Christ became a servant & told His disciples to "do as He did". So WE are to serve others as Christ served. This is our mission then.
In Luke chapter 13, the parable of the barren fig tree gives us a glaring example. Jesus came upon the fig tree; hungry after a long journey; and the fig tree had no figs! The question then is - - What is the mission of the fig tree? (mission figs - - lol) It is to produce figs. As it was not doing what it was supposed to do, Christ wanted it to be cut down.
So - - - - back to us.
If we are meant to serve other men (as in mankind), are we doing this? Are we of service in some manner, providing help to another, assisting those in need, etc.? Are we "producing figs"? Are we doing what we were put here on Earth for?
If not, how would Christ feel? That we were put here for a purpose & are squandering our time, our efforts, our money & in general, our lives on something other than why we are here? What if He wanted to "cut us down"?
Look at your life & decide if you're producing figs!
Blessings;
Ken
