Steve Jobs transformed human existence with his technology, but he never figured out why humans exist. He never figured out whether there is a God. Even he knew there was a mission component to his extraordinarily successful life Jobs was talking with Isaacson about the meaning of life and the existence of God. “I’m about 50-50 believing in God,” he said. “For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye.” Isn’t that sad? This man has spent a lifetime searching the planet for a Higher Authority and the best conclusion he could draw was there is “more to our existence than meets the eye.” This brilliant, highly educated man transformed the world with his dazzling gadgets. He was rich and powerful. He could pick up the phone and talk to presidents and prime ministers to CEOs and scientists. He received private concerts from world-class artists. He could go anywhere and do anything, no matter the expense. He had everything! Everything, that is, except what he wanted most: spiritual enlightenment. Jobs revolutionized the computer industry, the movie industry, the cell phone industry, the music industry – and really the world – with his technology. Yet he never discovered the answers to life’s most basic and important questions. During one of his last conversations with Isaacson, Jobs mused about how he’d like to believe something great was in store for humans after they die. Then again, he stated, “perhaps (life) is like an on-off switch. Click! And you’re gone.” He even joked that “maybe this was why I never liked to put on-off switches on Apple devices.” Sad, isn’t it? Steve Jobs transformed human existence with his technology, but he never figured out why humans exist. He never figured out whether there is a God. Or if man was put on earth for a specific reason. Or if there is life after death. This brilliant man died ignorant. Even Steve Jobs himself knew there was a mission component to his extraordinarily successful life. What was it? Put simply. This man lacked a relationship with the one omnipotent, all-powerful living God! Gerald Flurry Editor | The Trumpet | www.theTrumpet.com
