A Message from Todd Vogler, Deputy Principal
Why are we here?
This is a question which we often ponder. Even those of us who can answer this question sometimes forget why we are here. Ephesians 2:10 answers this for us – we are here to do good works. We don’t do this because we must, but because we want to. Why? We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus. The main things we are going to do when we get to heaven are to serve and worship God. So, guess what God wants us to do while we’re here on earth? He wants us to practice serving.
We need to contribute, not just take up space watching Netflix or playing video games. It is only in giving our lives away that we find out what life’s all about and fulfill our true purpose.
Everything in our society teaches us to use our talents for ourselves – make a lot of money, retire, be comfortable and die. That’s the dream. But deep down inside, we know we were made for more than that. We know instinctively that there is a bigger purpose in life. We may have covered it up with our fear of failure, but it’s still there: the desire to make a difference and serve.
