Rick Warren: A Life of Purpose

Pastor, philanthropist and author Rick Warren reflects on how the success of his book The Purpose-Driven Life triggered his own crisis of purpose. What should he do with this unanticipated wealth and attention? Warren uses his own story to explain the central tenet of his teaching: that the antidote to spiritual emptiness is recognizing what we have been given -- wealth, creativity, talent -- and using those gifts to make the world a better place.

"Jesus will come in the same way as you saw him go"

These words should be familiar to all Bible readers: they are the words of the "two men ... in white robes" (a common way of describing angels) said to the disciples as their astonished eyes watched their Lord ascending upwards "and a cloud received him out of their sight" (Acts 1:9-11). We suspect it was no ordinary cloud, but like the cloud that Moses climbed up into on the mountain (Exodus 24:16).

Countless generations of Bible believers have looked for their Lord to descend from heaven in their lifetime. The disciples had asked, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" (verse 6) and were told by their Lord they were to be "my witnesses in Jerusalem" but ultimately that the witnessing was to be "to the end of the earth" (verse 8). He had said this earlier, also on the mount of Olives, "this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14).

The other sign which Jesus gave, which Luke also recorded, was that "Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" (21:24). Today, Jerusalem is frequently the centre of world attention -- and the returned Jews have made it the capital of their resurrected country. The evidence is plain that the climax of the ages is near, but it was not for his disciples, then or now, to know exactly when: let's notice again Jesus' answer when the disciples asked him, "Lord,
