ABUNDANT LIFE

»
by ORAL ROBERTS
THE MEANING OF LIFE
Some time ago a leading
magazine told of a group of Pol-
ish students who asked their
Communist professor a serious
question, They asked him to ex-
plain to them the meaning of
life. According to the article,
he could not. The professor
couldn’t give his students a sat-
isfactory answer because Com-
munism cannot provide real
‘meaning for life. Communists
deny God and live atheistic
lives, Without.God, no life can
have meaning,
People—old and young, rich
and poor=look for something to
give life meaning. They search
in different ways—in different
places. But the answer is the
same for all. The meaning of
life is the living Christ! He is
an individual-not merely some
mysterious spirit or power ten
million miles out in space. As
a personal Saviour and individu-
al friend, Christ is everything
you and I need. He makes liv-
ing worthwhile and meaningful,
I have known men who spent
fortunes and traveled over the
world trying to satisfy the long-
ing within their souls. I have
seen rich, powerful and influ.
ential men turn to alcohol and
other vices in an effort to find
life's meaning, But none of
them ever truly succeeded until
he accepted Christ. The Bible
says, “For what shall it profit a
man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?”
(Mark 8:36). Christ is the only
answer. Jesus said, “I am come
that they might have life , .,”
(John 10:10).
Many times when you ex-
perience sorrow, pain and dis-
appointment, you feel that life
has lost its meaning—that there
is no reason for your existence,
You must realize that Jesus is

life itself and that He su plies
life’s meaning. Give your my
aches and losses to Him. He is
the restorer of life’s treasures
and the fulfillment of all your
needs. He transcends every
earthly limitation, He is the way
beyond death—the way beyond
loss. He is the answer.
Many people believe that God
wants them to be grieved, brok-
en in spirit, poverty-stricken and
distressed. But it is not true.
God does not send evil, but
is a very present help to deliver
you in time of trouble. He is
very near to you. His presence
is as close to you as the breath
in your nostrils, God has an
abundance of health, love, spir-
ituality, faith and prosperity for
you.
Yes, Christ is the meaning of
life. ‘When you accept Him and
dedicate your life to His service,
you have abundant life. It is
then that your life has meaning.

from her bike and suffered
assorted skinned elbows and
knees, Another roly-poly lass
was sleeping in her sleeping
bag atop a picnic table at
Brubaker’s Sunday night. In
her sleep she turned and
rolled off the table. No phys-
ical injury—just embarrased.
The girls, who made the
return trip Wednesday after-
noon, arrived about 2:30, ap-
pearing no worse for their
outing. They still were full
of pep and energy and said
that the 27 miles was ped-
dled in about 5% hours —
including time out for lunch
and refreshments along the
way.
Why did they stop in Mt.
Joy? When the trip was
planned, adult advisors
“scouted” the trip and rec-
ognized a good spot when
they saw it and made the ar-
rangements.
In charge of the girls were
Misses Nancy and Debby
Skeats of York.
