Some of the great questions men have always asked are, "What is the Creator like? What shall I do about my sins? How can I overcome temptations? How can I know God? What is the purpose of life? What lies beyond the grave for those who reject Jesus Christ? Is there really a Heaven? All these questions have been fully answered in God's written Word, the Bible, and in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Living Word of God. 
 
What is the Creator like? 
Jesus answered this question. He said, "He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father:" (John 14:9). 
"I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). When a man looked at the face of Jesus, he could say, "I have seen God." Jesus was God appearing in human form. Jesus brought God down to men, and He lifted men up to God. 
Would you like to know what God is like? Then read the life of Jesus in the Gospels. Would you like something to know about the love of God? Jesus said, "God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life". (John 3:16) 
 
What shall I do about my sins? 
Many people live under the burden and guilt of sins. Friend, if your heart cries out in words like this, I have good news for you, "Through this man (Jesus Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins." (Acts 13:38). "Having made peace through the blood of His cross." (Colossians 1:20). 
Once I too was like the Prodigal Son described in Luke chapter 15. I was faraway from God. But when I turned to God for mercy, He freely forgave all my sins. At the Cross of Christ you can have your sins forgiven. Come to Him now and you'll begin to know the sweetness of His love and mercy. 
 
How can I ovecome temptations? 
 You need power to overcome temptations. You need a Savior who can brig strength and comfort to your heart. Jesus Christ can give you power to live a new life. H is the Living Savior, "able laso to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him." (Hebrews 7:25). 
 
How can I know God? 
In our hearts we long for a contact with a person greater than ourselves. God alone can satisfy that longing. Jesus Christ brings you into the family of God. "As many as received Him, to them gave he power to be the sons of God, even to them that believe in His name:" (John 1:12). 
 
What is the purpose of life? 
 After the conversion to Christ the Apostle Paul was sent by Him, to bear His name, and to turn men "from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God," (Acts 26:18). In this same glad service you too can find the greatest joy in fulfilling His will in your life. 
 
What lies beyond the grave? 
Jesus Christ deliver His people from the fear of death. For them it is to be, "absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord". (2 Corinthians 5:18) "To be with Christ which is far better," (Philippian 1:23). 
"Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;" (Psalm 23:4). 
For those who reject Jesus Christ, the Bible says, He will return "in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presense of the Lord and from the glory of His power;" 2Thesalonians 1;8-9). 
 
Is there really a Heaven? 
 Jesus has revealed to His people a great deal about this place which He has gone to prepare for us. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3). One of the reasons why I am a Christian is that I'm looking forward for meeting my Savior face to face, and thank Him for all His love to me. I am looking forward to enjoying the beauty of Heaven, which will be my eternal home. 
 
PRAYER 
Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned and need Your forgiveness. I believe that Your Son Jesus Christ died for me on the cross and I am willing to repent and turn from my sins. I know by faith invite the Lord Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior and I am willing by Your grace, to follow and obey Him as the Lord of my life. Amen.

ANTICIPATING OUR LORD’S RETURN 1 Cor. 15:51-58,Matt. 24:1-12 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Matthew 24: 1-12</div>

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. </div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
3   And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4   And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  5   For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.   6   And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7   For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.   8   All these are the beginning of sorrows.  9   Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10   And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.  11   And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  12   And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
