I sometimes see T-shirts, bumper stickers, and billboards with the slogan, “Christ is the answer.” But what questions is He the answer to? Consider a few.
How many paths to God are there? Christ is the answer. “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).
Does God really love me? Christ is the answer. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

As the season of gift giving approaches, we hear people asking the question “What gift would you like this year?” Usually this inquiry comes from parents or grandparents and it is usually addressed to the youngsters among us.

Whether teens or adults, it’s easy to be blind to our own faults. And even when…
Jude 16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts;

They will tell you they are your friends and be glad to be with you when everything is going great. However, when times become difficult for you they will be gone before you know it.

Matthew 2:23 says that Joseph, Mary, and the young child Jesus “came and resided in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He shall be called a Nazarene.’” This verse has troubled many Bible students because the statement, “He shall be called a Nazarene” is not found anywhere in the Old Testament.
