The Final Goal: The Answer To Our Problem
Read: John 14:1-6
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me. – John 14:6
Ten stadiums, 31 days, 32 teams, 63 games, 736 players, a potential 3,789,909 spectators and more than 26 billion television viewers will make up this year’s World Cup tournament. But there will only be one winner. Practice, prediction and preparations will only go so far. In the end, it is certain that only one team will win.
Similarly, there are countless different opinions on how to live life well, and they all cry for our attention with convincing voices. So many opinions are driven by a sincere desire to please God and attain a lasting relationship with Him. But when things come to an end—when we face death once and for all—what certainty can we have that we’ve lived our lives as we should have?
The words of Jesus give us the answer to that question. There’s only one way to have a relationship with God. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).
That might seem like an arrogant claim. But why not read the gospels and ask yourself: Who else can do what Jesus does? Who else has the answer to our sin problem?
Jesus Christ is the only certainty, both in this life and for our eternal future. —Jon Lindsay
He saved us, not because of the righteous things
we had done, but because of His mercy. —Titus 3:5

Not Alone
By Debra Ayis, 20, Nigeria Not Alone Alone, yet not alone; I sat at a dinner table, Conversation surrounding me. I wave to someone I know; Mere acquaintances say, “Hello.” We speak with sweet rapport, Laughing and talking reservedly. To some, we may look like a team. But honestly, we are just colleagues. Alone yet [...]
ODJ: disturbing the peace
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of him as he drives by—reclined in his seat, one arm slung out of his rolled-down window. He’s the guy with the car stereo that blasts seismic sound waves through our neighborhood. His sub-woofers pulse with a booming rhythm so loud that I can hardly feel my own heartbeat. In [...]

i cannot accept the fact that Jesus is the only way…i’ve been a Christian for 6 years, i’ve known all the general fact the general truth, the things that God He himself, through his word has revelaed to me, but i just lack that faith, that ~ummph~..tht spirit to serve Him in my living my life well.
i’ve been an obese person, i am a glutton. i know i am terrible. just this morning, i gobbled down a whole loave of 14 slices of whoelmeal bread. before i bought them, i told myself, i will keep them for the next few days. but the moment i started, i couldn’t stop but to finish them.
worse of all, i even got myself an accountability partner, of whom i am suppose to tell what iate, and that accountable partner will just respond.it’s suppose to make me feel guilty everytime i am about to eat, because i have to inform this partner. but then, it jsut dind’t scare the sh*t out of me. i just went on and on..
you’ll ask me if i prayed to God before, i did, i cried. i have. it’s just i am shovering off his every “soft promptings” …and i know this way of eating is boudn bad for my health…a lot of “I know” but never the “i am going to change”
i am always seeking to find people to complain to. To just vent out my anger. then for a few days i am on the right track. then kaboom~ what God wants , why can’t I please God. i am fed up… i know yet i don’t do…makes me reminded of the verse in the Bible ..”those who know the good to do yet doesn’t do is like…”
i just hate it..i always say i hate myself…it’s just that everytime when i’m thrown into this situation, all the “I KNOW” seems to not matter at all~…. =’(
