"Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'Why am I here?'"

"Do you mean, 'Why did I come here today?'"

"Or do you mean, 'Why am I in this room at all?'"

"Or do you mean, 'On this spot here, as opposed to that spot?'"

"Or do you mean, 'Why am I even in this city?'"

"Or, 'Why was I born in this country?'"

"Or, 'Why was I even born at all?'"

"Or, 'Why does the universe even exist?'"

"Aaaaugh!"

"I haven't got a clue."

"I do."

"You do?"

"Okay, big shot, why are you here?"

"Ta da!"

"And he [Jesus] died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again." 2 Corinthians 5:15

"Well what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I'm here to live for Jesus."

"Oh swell! You're a religious fanatic, aren't you?"

"You hypocrites are full of greed and self-indulgence."

"Funny ... that's just what Jesus said to some real religious fanatics."

"Huh?"

"Let me see that ... hmm ... 'You hypocrites .. are full of greed and self-indulgence. Well, I'll be!"

"The Jesus I'm living for hates hypocrites, too."

"Oh?"

"And did you know that He loves you?"

"... how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." Ephesians 3:18

"Well ... um ... that is ..."

"And did you know that your sin separates you from God?"

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

"Hmm ... well, uh ..."

"But because He loves you, Christ paid for your sins?"

"Christ died for sins once for all ... to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18

"Ooo boy!"

"And that you need to trust Him as your Savior?"

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life." John 3:36

"Lord Jesus, I believe that you have paid for my sins, and I accept your forgiveness. I place my trust in you to be my Savior. I want to live for you, Jesus. Amen."

"So why are you here?"
