Worship or Consumption

'Christ is not for consumption, but for worship' David Wells.

What a challenge in todays market driven, consumer based society.

When we have our motivation based on the need for personal satisfaction, then we need religion/Christ/ a God for personal fulfilment. Christ becomes a resource that we can use, one of many ways to reach a personally defined end.
When we understand that we are created beings, here for a purpose, then we will understand our role in worshiping him, and our need to fulfil that role. Then we realise that there is only one end, one that we do not define for ourselves, but which has been set since before creation.
The challenge - to live with that eternal perspective in an earthly realm.
