MY FRIENDS, “THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IN LIFE IS NOT DEATH, BUT TO LIVE WITH NO PURPOSE”
Purpose; the reason for which something exists or is done. My friends let’s make it personal today let’s evaluate our reason for existing as we shift our focus to self and self’s purpose, as we take a walk up that hill to Calvary.
In addition, let the grace of God work in us to deny old inclinations and powerful propensities toward new habits that lead us away from Him as we obey the promptings of the spirit and our heart receives more of his power as we begin to elevate our character and strengthen and prepare our mind and body for that final conflict between good and evil as we determine, What Is Our Purpose.
My friends, is our purpose, too have the best, the largest, the most outstanding. Is our purpose, that our outer appearance are what others look at and decide, we have arrived at the pinnacle of what all should achieve at being?
And then the final question we must ask ourselves is, does our purpose and what we are trying to achieve, have anything to do with Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In addition, when we get on our knees are our prayers centered around the questions, “not my will but thou will be done” or what must I do to be saved.
In addition, what do I lack Lord to accumulate treasures in heaven as I follow you to the cross? “purpose moves people to remake 
the world” “Purpose creates new social and economic models driven by people and enabled by technology” sounds like you?
Wikipedia tells us British philosopher “Bertrand Russell was a prominent anti-war activist; he championed anti-imperialism and went to prison for his pacifism during World War I, he campaigned against Adolf Hitler, then criticized Stalinist totalitarianism, attacked the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War, and was an outspoken proponent of nuclear disarmament.
In 1950 Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.” He was also born into a Christian home and taught to believe in God, but he rejected his training and became an outspoken atheist. His daughter, Katherine Tait, said of him, “Somewhere at the bottom of his heart, in the depths of his soul, there was an empty space that once had been filled by God, and he never found anything else to put in His place.”
What a sad ending to someone’s life, in spite of all he did for humanity, but never fulfilling God’s purpose in his life. “Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. He then went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them.
And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him….. “While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” Luke 22:3-6, 47 (ESV)
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went 
and hanged himself. Matt. 27:3-5 (KJV) Judas a disciple of Christ in the presence of God each day with no purpose.
Two men, at one time or another in their life was acquainted with God but died with no purpose. My friends, once again it has to be personal weather you are a lifelong Christian, or you just found out there is no one like Him. What is your purpose in relationship to the one who gave it all for your Salvation.
Grace is still on our side and once again the political climate tells us, soon God will say it is finished and soon there will be no time or grace left for those who have no purpose and no faith to endure, till the end of their journey too the promise land.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
