"Living without purpose makes life burdensome and tedious. When a man knows what he lives for he maximizes every opportunity and God prolongs his live. As small as Jesus was at the age of 12, he understood purpose; he knew that opportunity given to a purposeless man is a waste. He understood what he came to do on earth. He knew the reason for living, that was why he did not die until he accomplished his task; he wouldn’t have escaped Herod and the Pharisees if not because he had reason for living. His being alive was justified."
