The Bullet of Happiness: Total Satisfaction in Jesus

If a man is to find reality and abundance, he must limit himself to the great priorities, to the “Pearl of Great Price,” to a love that never fails, to something or someone to put his whole soul into that will not disappoint.

The world’s options are a cataract of nonsense. There is no way any of us can get in on all the fun or deviations unbelievers call “meaning.” Even the longest human life can only begin to explore the avenues of knowledge and pleasure.

The Gospel of Jesus says to work, suffer and wait now, for His kingdom will come. The philosophy of unbelief says take it all now for there is no future! We must commit ourselves to one or the other!

The Scripture declares that “When people follow their own thoughts, they walk in ways that are not good” (Isaiah 65:2).

The Father says His ways are not like our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:6). The “way out” of all the confusion and bewilderment is to choose the way of God. Jesus said, “I am the Way.” Those who strive to follow Him have found that He is really there!!
