What's the point?

Have you ever gone to hear somebody talk (hopefully not me!), or read through a book, or watched a movie, and you just found yourself thinking, "what's the point?" Sometimes if you find yourself thinking that in a negative way, as in you can't figure out what the point is even if you asked the question, it can totally ruin the message. I have had countless experiences like this.

But the great thing is, in some cases, we get to a point at the end of the message and the point of the message is finally revealed. In this moment, something clicks. While the book of John is captivating throughout, we come to the end, specifically chapter 20 verse 31 where we finally see the point of his message.

John writes this, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." There is no better moment of truth than this. The point of this gospel is so that we may believe and have life. Is this a "clicking" moment with you? Have you seen the proof of the Christ as we have gone through the book? Hopefully you have, and hopefully you have grown closer to God through this time. Thanks for spending time with your God and savior today!
