Don't just take our word for it, do a bit of research for yourself...
We all want peace in our lives don’t we? It is just that as Christians, we look for that peace in different places! The non Christian looks for that peace in transitory and inadequate places, wealth, power, position and such. Or he seeks it through false religion (astrology, new age-ism, yoga, jogging, etc.) which, however promising, always seems to fail in the end, right at the crisis. The Christian, on the other hand, seeks his peace in only one place-a person, Jesus Christ. The question for those who would find lasting, eternal peace then is "How do we come to know Jesus?". We have heard of Him; how do we meet Him? The answer is not strange or complex: we meet Him in the Church. The Church is His body, made available by Him for the singular purpose of introducing Himself to you! You meet a part of the Church when you meet another Christian! How simple, and yet how difficult. Sad to say, Christians are not always identifiably such, nor do we usually meet them on those deep and private terms.
So how do we meet Jesus? The best way is to go where Christians gather as Christians-in Church, especially on Sundays. Yes, we can meet with Christians elsewhere and we can meet with Jesus alone, but do we?
Sunday Church attendance is the surest way of getting to know Jesus and beginning the process of entering into His peace. So the answer to our question of "Why go to Church?" is simple: to get to know Jesus.
Those who go to Church regularly, know, for the most part why they go. If you are wondering why, perhaps it's time you did so too. Oh, no mistake about it: not every visit will be a mountaintop experience. But over the long haul, this is how we get to know Jesus. And how our lives are truly filled with His peace. Why not give it a try?
