There is something sad about seeing someone lonely. We can't help but feel sorry for that guy sitting there in the restaurant eating his dinner by himself or that girl who always sits by herself in the back of the class and doesn't seem to have any friends. We all want relationships and we feel that there is something wrong when they are aren't there. We hate death partially because it means the end of our relationship with that person. Relationships are important to us.
The amazing thing is that God offers us a relationship with himself. He offers to be our Father and our friend. The King of the universes says come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The righteous God has opened up a path for sinners to be in relationship with him. God has designed us to desire relationships and he has also provided us the path to the ultimate relationships. As wonderful as they are our human relationships with our spouses/kids/parents/friends will not fulfill us. That fulfillment is to be found in a relationship with God.
