Ecclesiastes
3:1-8. Luke 9:18-22
The purpose of all life
for each child of man and
for all families, communities
and peoples is to stretch
out to the hope of their
high calling which is knowledge
of their heavenly Father,
creator of all things, and
commitment to His will and
glorious purpose in His
world.
To further and fulfil this
all-embracing purpose I,
the Firstborn of the Father’s
love, with him in creation,
left the honour and the
glory of His Presence to
enter in His created world
to open up the way to life
eternal for all the sons
and daughters of His love
who would accept it. For
this I lived and ministered
and taught; for this I died
and for this the Father
raised Me from the dead
and through My faithfulness
and obedience to His will
and loving purpose I am
empowered to bring all who
are in Me and I in them
to the Father and eternal
life according to His will
and loving purpose. .
Take this most of this
challenging and fulfilling
truth into the very centre
of your being and pray for
the grace and power to live
and progress in it. I speak
to every one in the Father’s
world.
