TODAY’S SERMON: DECEMBER 7, 2025
Studies in John: 31 The Purpose of Life - John 12:20-36
Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? Many people live most of their lives without ever understanding the deeper meaning of life. In fact, when most people are asked, “What is your purpose in life?”, they give very self-serving answers. I read where one guy was asked this question, and he said, “My purpose is to be happy.” If you want the definition of narcissistic, that’s it! An answer like this shouldn’t surprise us because our culture has conditioned people to think more of themselves than others. Do a quick Google search and see how many self-help programs you can find, and you will quickly see what I mean.
When we look to Jesus, in our text, we do not see a man who was self-serving at all. Instead, Jesus knew exactly what His purpose in life was. The interesting thing about this text is that Jesus actually says it for the first time, “My hour has come...” Every other time, He spoke of “His hour” being in the future, but now, it’s here.
Today, I will highlight Jesus’ life purpose and compare that to the calling on our lives as believers. As you listen to the sermon, try and answer the question, “What is my life’s purpose,” and write it down. Get it out of your head and onto paper so you can see it.
The most fulfilling purpose in life is found in doing something greater than yourself. As you think through this, don’t be afraid to challenge yourself, and don’t be fearful of unveiling the truth. Discovering your true purpose can reignite the fire within you and shine the light of Christ into the life of someone else. There is a calling on your life to do greater things, but you must be willing to search for it.
I’m praying for you!
