Finding
Life
Proverbs 8:35–36 "For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord; but he who Finding Life
sins against me wrongs his own soul; all those who hate me love
death."
Many people, especially in the field of astronomy, are eagerly seeking signs
of life in outer space. A couple of years ago, NASA scientists shook the world
by announcing that they had found evidence—embedded in a meteor that had fallen
to earth—that primitive life once existed on the planet Mars. After all the
hoopla died down, these findings were called into question. Others who have
studied the data sent back by the Galileo space probe are suggesting the
possibility of life on one of Jupiter’s moons. However flimsy the straw,
scientists seem ready to grasp it as long as it points to the possibility of
life on other planets.
While the possibility of finding life in outer space is intriguing, we don’t
need to look there to find life. Real life is found in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who came to earth so we could know Him. God promises that anyone who comes to
know Jesus in a saving way finds real life—a life of quality as well as
quantity, a life that will experience the joy of being in His presence forever
(Rev. 22:3–5).
Many people today are looking for life. If they aren’t looking for it on
other planets, they are searching for something special on this planet. They
seek it in their pleasures and search for it in unfulfilling relationships.
Quietly, but desperately, they hunt for something that will make their life
worthwhile. Yet all the time God stands ready to provide the very thing they’re
lacking—a life that has meaning for today as well as eternity. All they have to
do is receive Christ as their Savior.
If you are looking for life, look to the Lord. The apostle John wrote, "He
who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have
life" (1 John 5:12). You don’t have to be a scientist to find life. You just
have to know where to look.
Life is found through a relationship with Christ, not a telescope.
