Life

Under the sun:

> control will always slip out of our grasp
> relationships will always disappoint
> work will leave us frustrated
> pleasure is always fleeting
> wisdom is never an adequate guide
> spirituality usually give in to legalism
> life ends in decay and death

Above the sun:
> control leads to surrender to God's will
> relationships lead to trust in God's love
> work leads to labouring for God kingdom
> pleasure leads to a hunger for God's coming
> wisdom leads to a humble curiosity to know God
> spirituality leads to embracing God's wild heart
> life leads to a joyous celebration of death and resurrection.

Christ makes the difference. Our lives are far from meaningless, because he infuses our lives with meaning.
