The world ought to make sense. Right?!
Some things just seem to matter. To everyone. Things like beauty. Or community. Or justice.
We long for these things. We crave them. We have this intuition that they’re important and good and right. Yet all too often they seem to lay beyond our reach.
What do we make of this? Is it all a cruel joke? Mere fantasy? Or are these things actually signs — signs pointing to a greater meaning in the world?
All the previous signs point to Jesus’ work. When people see Jesus, they are moved to worship. Everyone we know is looking for a sign. A sign of where to find life, hope, rest, and peace. We long to see hearts awakened in Christ, so we exist to invite everyone to enjoy life with Christ. To join God in his renewing work we invite everyone to enjoy life with God.

“Signposts name a reality and point us in a direction. Likewise, these … signposts name realities that all human cultures value as well as pointing beyond themselves to the meaning of life, to the meaning of the world. They indicate, in fact, how we ought to ‘make sense’ of the world — how we ought to understand the way the world is and the challenge of being human within it. The fact that we care about them and are puzzled by them is itself telling us something about the deep ‘sense’ of the world.” — Tom Wright
