Matthew 10:39
Whoever finds his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life
for my sake will find it.

A preacher, a priest
and a rabbi were having their usual morning cup of coffee at
the local coffee shop. On this particular morning, they were
discussing the point at which life begins.
¡°Life begins at
conception,¡± the priest said emphatically.
¡°No,¡± countered
the rabbi, ¡°I believe life begins at birth.¡±
The preacher
sipped his coffee as he pondered the question and finally
said, ¡°You¡¯re both wrong. Life begins when the last child has
left home and so does the dog!¡± (Anonymous)

Well, this is a just funny story, yet reminds us of the true meaning of LIFE.
Bible tells about our life issue all over the places.
Bible tells us the answer that your life
was conceived in the mind of God long before you were
conceived by your parents [1] and begins when we surrender to the Christ Jesus as a
creator and savior of our life and live for Him [2]. God made
you with a purpose and a reason, and you life has profound
meaning! For Christian believers, it is an issue of you or
Jesus Christ for whom you live your life for. Do you know His
purpose for you today? Ask Him if not sure.

of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love"

me will find it."
