Chapter 1:
Is There More to Life Than This?
​Many people move through life with a lingering sense of incompleteness. Despite success, relationships, and full schedules, there's often an inner ache that nothing external seems to satisfy. This emptiness isn’t simply emotional or psychological; it suggests a deeper spiritual hunger. Human beings, by nature, long for purpose, belonging, and truth. And at the core of this longing is a desire for relationship with the divine.
​
Material wealth, status, or even good relationships cannot fill this void. Though they offer temporary satisfaction, they do not answer the fundamental question of why we exist. The teachings of Jesus Christ offer a profound answer to this existential dilemma. He stated, "I am the way and the truth and the life" – a claim that, if true, addresses every human need: direction, reality, and fulfilment.
​
Jesus as the way means he offers a path back to meaning and relationship with God. As the truth, he embodies and reveals what is ultimately real and trustworthy. And as the life, he invites people into a quality of existence that transcends death—life in its fullest, deepest form. This is not merely a set of beliefs, but an encounter with love, forgiveness, and the divine presence.
​
To live without this connection is like watching a blurry screen unaware it can be clearer. But once experienced, the transformation is unmistakable. Life becomes infused with clarity, depth, and joy that no other pursuit can offer.
​
Answer to the question:
Yes, there is more to life than this. There is a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, that brings direction, truth, and life to our existence.
