With A Point There were three of us and we were visiting in a school on the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia. As we chatted in the principal’s office, I noticed a motto on the wall. It had an unsharpened pencil with these words underneath: “Life without Jesus is like a pencil without a point!” So many people are looking for the answers to life, and trying to fill the empty aching of their heart with things of this world, be it fun and amusement, material goods, education, charitable causes, and so on. But only the One who made us can satisfy us and give purpose and direction to our life. “For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9). Centuries ago Isaiah raised a question that is still good and relevant for us all to think about: “Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not?” (Isaiah 55:22) Yes, life is pointless without Christ as our life, and first and foremost we must be the possessors of eternal life, and then there will be substance to our day-to-day life. “He that hath the Son hath life” (1 John 5:12).
