Why do humans look to various alleged “holy books”, the latest spiritual book or even the bestselling self-help book? There’s something in our soul that longs for more. There’s something in our soul that seeks universal truth. There’s something in our soul that seeks more fulfillment, more significance and more purpose. Even when we think we’ve “arrived”, contentment soon fades and we’re on to the next thing to fill whatever void we’re feeling.

The story of the Bible starts with the creation of human beings in the image of God himself (Genesis 1:27). We are whole people made up of five dimensions: physical, intellectual, relational, emotional and spiritual. When we neglect any part of how God made us, we often experience dire consequences and even a dysfunctional existence.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me (John 14:6). The embodiment of truth exists in Jesus. Why? In Colossians 1:15-17, the Bible tells us that - He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Jesus is the author, creator and sustainer of life. It only makes sense that he is the way, the truth and the life.
