The final chapter of my coming book is entitled Why Did I Write this Book? The four answers are: 

1. Because I needed to read it.
2. Because I couldn't keep it in.
3. Because Christ is life (Col. 3:4)
4. Because you and I must exalt Jesus as King.

 

The first two are unique to me. But the second pair are true for you and every other human being. Jesus is life. He is the reason for life. He is the purpose for life. He is the goal of life. He is the meaning of life. He is the reason for the snowflakes I see swirling outside my window. He is the meaning of the Don Quixote novel my wife is reading to my children in the other room. He is life, subjectively and objectively, inside and out, created and sustained. Therefore, all who live should live to worship Him.

None of this is new to a believer with any experience of turning Bible pages. But there is a world of difference between knowing it and knowing it. My hope is to help Christians grow in their knowledge of their Life.
