The Richest Man in Town

In the 1946 Christmas Classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”, the likable George Bailey was disappointed time and time again with how his life was turning out. Making decisions to help others in his small town of Bedford Falls meant putting HIS dreams on hold. He was not satisfied with his life because he longed for a greater purpose. At least, greater in his mind. When Old Man Potter stole all his company’s cash and he was faced with jail for embezzlement, he considered suicide. That’s when his “guardian angel” Clarence helped him understand his real purpose in life. But, the movie stops short of naming the only source of real purpose in life, our savior Jesus. Today we will discuss Jesus, the Bread of Life (John 6:35) as the only source of real purpose, satisfaction and fulfillment.
