The Plumb Line

Recently I watched a movie about a well known wealthy movie producer, Tom Shadyac, who had a traumatic concussion. The injury caused medical and mental conditions that he eventually recovered from, but these events caused him To take a look around, and to ask profound life questions:
A) What is wrong with the world we live in? and B) What can I do about it?
These are important questions but in all of this and his quest for answers and truth, he still missed it.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God– children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."
John 1:1-4, 10-13

Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
John 14:6

Tom visited with all types of spiritual people, philosophers and scientists.
But he never asked more basic profound existential questions:
"Who am I, what is my purpose, why was I created"
"How did all of this get here?
"What is real peace and fulfillment and where is it found?"
In this film he never expresses thoughts about God.

Jesus is the beginning, and He is the end, the Alpha and the Omega!
He created all things, maintains all things, He is the foundation, plumb line, Cornerstone,
He is everything. But that is just the "tip of the iceberg"... We are His masterpiece, His greatest creation, He didn't just make us because He was bored, the Lord created us to commune with Him, and dwell in relationship, face to face, heart to heart, with Him.
We can love, because He loved us first, and it was because of His great love for us that He endured the shame and pain of the cross.
This was the point of breakthrough for me, as I believe it will be for Tom, when I was looking for the answers to those mysterious profound questions. The Lord Jesus' great love for me, how desperately and jealouly He loves us, and how He is mindful of each of us, even while we are/were yet "far away from home".
Abundant, joyful, fulfilled living is wrapped up in relationship with Jesus. Only He can satisfy, sweeping away disillusion, deception, emptiness, satisfying our deepest cravings, the last piece of the puzzle we call "life".
