What Jesus Said About the Meaning of Life and a Christian Worldviewनमुना

Story: J.D. Rockefeller

J.D. Rockefeller made his first million dollars. At 43, he had the world's biggest business; at 50, he was the wealthiest man on earth and the only billionaire.

But Rockefeller was not happy. He developed a skin disease where the hair on his head started to fall out, and the hair of his eye whimpers and brows. He struggled with digestion and could only eat crackers and drink milk – with a weekly income of a million dollars a week.

One of his biographers said that he said that he had a deep desire to be loved. People hated him for the way he conducted business and trampled people. He couldn't sleep and had no joy.

One night, after a dream, he suddenly realises that he cannot take even one penny with him when he dies. He got up and started the Rockefeller Foundation, giving away millions of dollars to worthy causes.

Slowly, his health improved; he experienced joy and genuine love from people. He went home and told his wife and family that he had turned his heart and life away from the money-god. He started to follow Christ, through whom he discovered purpose and meaning.
