"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." Ecclesiastes 1:2

I just finished reading the Hitchhikers' Guide trilogy (of five books) - really entertaining books, but the ending is so bleak! After searching for meaning, for love, for entertainment, for ways to prolong life, it just ends - and there's nothing. No meaning, no hope.

But then, without God, I guess that's just the way things are. You can distract yourself temporarily with things, with people, with busyness, but ultimately it all stops, and at the end there's nothing. Nothing to hope for. What kind of a life is that?

And what's worse, is that at the end there isn't nothing - there's eternity in hell.

Praise God that in His grace it doesn't have to be that way. And He's given us the good news to share with people around us, people who are without hope, mainly ignorant of the future ahead of them. What a privelege to be able to share Christ with them!

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10
