(Community Matters) This is so extraordinarily true, especially for Christians. Some cannot even hypothesize that there might not be an after-life or that Jesus may not be the “son of God” for fear of undermining their entire identities, life’s meaning & their lives’ work.
Believers’ lives have significance because they and their kind are part of this glorious unfolding. Their faith is suffused with expectation and hope. If they were to learn that they were simply a dead end, they would feel that God had forsaken them, that life was without meaning and purpose.
