Once several years ago, my brother and I were driving down the highway. I read aloud the car tag on the front of the car coming toward us: Christ is the answer.
If Christ is the answer, he responded, whats the question?
We smiled and thought we were pretty smart.
Today I realize that this car tag was right. Not only that, but I also know what the question isor more correctly, what the questions are.
In a nutshell, Christ is the answer to all the questions of life.
But, the questions of life are not: Who was the 16th president of the US? Or, How long is the Mississippi River? Or, What is the value of pi?
Then what are the questions of life like? Theyre a lot like these questions asked by thousands of people just like you every day:
| Who can take my loneliness away? | |
| What can I do about my overwhelming fear of dying? | |
| I was abused. Who can help me? | |
| What will restore my shattered marriage? | |
| How will I be able to care for my aged parents? | |
| My spouse has been unfaithful. What should I do? | |
| My son is on drugs. What will happen to him? | |
| We cant pay our bills, and well have to file for bankruptcy. Who will help? | |
| Where can I find direction in this confusing world? | |
| Where can I find the strength to overcome my destructive behavior habits? | |
| How will I ever save enough money for retirement? | |
| I have trouble sleeping and often have bad dreams. Where can I gain peace of mind? | |
| My wife needs medical help, but we cannot afford it. What can we do? | |
| My unmarried daughter is pregnant and considering an abortion. What should she do? | |
| My life has so little meaning, Im thinking of ending my life. Does life have meaning? | |
| Who will help me build character and integrity in my children? | |
| Someone close to me has died. Will I survive my grief? |
If any of these strikes a responsive chord, read on.
So, how can you make Christ the answer to the questions of your life?
Christ is the answer. But He also provides answers to lifes questions by directing you. One of the ways He will guide you is through the Bible. So if you dont have one, get a Bible and start reading it every day.
