The Quest for Meaning

Every person is searching for meaning.

Every person is looking for something to tell them that their life is worth something. At the core of that desire is a Biblical truth: you matter, and your life has been designed to make a difference.

As counterintuitive as it feels, the Bible teaches that mattering in this life has very little to do with what we accumulate, achieve, or acquire. Mattering happens when a person knows they are valued and knows they have value to give.

This means that the answer to our search isn't found in what we store up for ourselves — it's discovered in what we give away.

The Upside Down - Blessed Are Those Who Mourn

When he says…“Blessed are those who mourn”…it’s a whole other level of upside down…because this statement is not just counterintuitive; it’s contradictory. I mean, think about it for a moment. “Blessed are those who mourn.” It’s like he’s saying: Happy are the sad. Happy are the unhappy. Remember we said the word blessed means more than “happy”…it means to be deeply satisfied and fulfilled. How is it possible to be deeply satisfied and fulfilled in the middle of your grief? Jesus says its not only possible…but with those who follow him…its something that is to be expected.
