Got Questions?
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
John 14:6
The world is searching for answers, and those searches usually happen on Google, the world’s biggest search engine. Last year, the top searches had to do with the war in Israel with Hamas, the imploded submarine looking for the Titanic, Matthew Perry, NFL star Damar Hamlin, and actor Jeremy Renner.
Google can certainly help answer some of our questions, but for the most important questions in life we need to open our Bibles. Jesus answered a lot of questions in the Gospels, and His answers are always wise, correct, and valuable to us. For example, in John 14:6, Jesus answered the three greatest questions of the human heart: (1) How can I be saved? He said, “I am the way.” (2) How can I be sure? He said, “I am…the truth.” (3) How can I be satisfied? He said, “I am…the life.”
Jesus is the Answer to everything we really need in the depths of our lives. Look to Him for your greatest needs, deepest desires, highest hopes, and fullest blessings.
Christ is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.

John 14:1-6
Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 "And you know the way where I am going." 5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Our ultimate desire, whether we know it or not, is to be with the One who gives us life. That is, to be with Him forever and rest in His love and provision. If you know and believe in Jesus Christ, you are even now resting in the eternal love and provision of Almighty God. Let joy fill your heart and mind as you follow the way, the truth, and the life!
