Have you ever had the experience of wrestling with something, unable to figure it out, and then someone comes up and shows you the clear answer? You think to yourself, “If only I had known that to begin with!”

Humanity is constantly wrestling with the big questions of life. What is our purpose? How should we live? Can we find hope? It seems to many people that there is no answer.

But God gives us the answer, and the answer is Jesus Christ. As the apostle Peter said, “There is no other Name by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Christ is the solution for our deepest needs, Christ is the one who will guide us in the right paths in life, and Christ alone can bring us into a genuinely bright future.

As Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” (John 14:6)
