Not Merely an Means to An End

Contrary to what many today believe, Jesus is not simply a means to an end. He is the end for which every one of us actually exists. Our temporal flawed and human works grow out of his flawless and eternal work on the cross. We exist because He does. Without Him we neither exist nor have life in that existence which we have been graciously given in Him. We exist for Him, to magnify His word His work and His will, to be conformed to His image. If we miss that than we miss it all. For wisely and not ill informed did the Apostle Paul write that our life is really hidden in Him because we were ultimately created to be conformed to His Image to the praise and glory of our God.
