The questions that have plagued mankind for centuries - Are we alone in this big universe? Is there other life out there? Where did we come from anyway? Why is there death and pain? What happens after death? Is it just the end? What is my purpose here? Are we all just here by accident? Why is it that we have to say goodbye to those we love?
Maybe the reason we ask these questions is because we once knew the answers. Before man fell, how much did we know? Before the fall there was no such thing as "death" or "pain" or "guilt" or "sadness" or "evil" or...
Now, the only place we can really look for the answers is the one infallible source of truth, God's own word. Just one book, disjointedly written over a period of fifteen hundred years by forty men from all different walks of life. They were cup bearers. They were kings. They were shepherds and doctors and preachers and prophets and fishermen. Some lived during times of war, others during times of peace. But each of their messages to the world are screaming the same word: Jesus.
Not a flaw, not a word out of place. Just one message: God is love.
Have questions? There are answers. Maybe they won't be the answers you expect to hear, but it's the truth, plain and simple.
And maybe not so simple after all.
But one day I'll know, just as I am known, when I see my Jesus face to face.
