Victor Frankle was a victim of the Nazi regime and went to a Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz, and both his parents were dead. So in this camp he was literally vanishing and thousands of other people around him were being murdered. He was reflecting on the current state of his life. He wrote this book, Man's Search for Meaning, it's super interesting! In the book you can read his mind searching for meaning in all the death, suffering and all the apparent meaninglessness that surrounded him in this concentration camp. This was his conclusion to the story: “life is not primarily a search for pleasure, as I believed, or a search for power as Alfred Asler taught, but a search for meaning. The greatest task for a person is to find meaning in his life. “This story has truly remained in my heart, and I'm sure yours will too. They hit that little nerve, right? Does your stomach feel a little strange? Don't worry; you can admit it, it's normal. Because, if we were completely honest with each other, we all asked ourselves before, “What is the meaning of all this? Why am I here? There must be more to life than this!" We want our lives to matter more than something! None of us crave meaninglessness. We all fear nothingness and emptiness more than anything else. What do YOU ​​depend on to make life Is your life worth living? Work, pleasure, beauty, pursuit of wisdom, achievement, effort, money is what gets you out of bed every day you're probably sitting here and you know what to say. Right? We all know the answer from Sunday school. What I mean is Jesus. These are the big questions that Ecclesiastes asks you... middle of paper... But we go with everything else under the sun, to bring us meaning, life and purpose. The things we are pursuing will dissolve and none of the things under the sun will ever fully satisfy us that next extreme! I got tired of searching for the meaning of life and pursuing these insignificant and trivial things that were meaningless, vanity. If you are done searching for things that will never satisfy you and are ready for that one true meaning of life, I encourage you to pray with someone tonight. Or, if you know Christ and have fallen away and sought trivial things that will fade away while the one true God remains, pray! As Marcos plays the music, take this time to reflect, the altar is here for you, it's a powerful place to meet God here with someone!
