When life begins?

¡¡

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.

[1] Ephesians 1.4 "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love"
[2] Matthew 16:25 "For whoever wants to save his life, will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it."
