12GTREL - Life Events and the Search for Meaning and Purpose: Home

This guide contains resources related to the syllabus point 'the relationship between important life events and the search for meaning and purpose'.

John 14:6

Jesus is the way.  Indeed he is a two way street.  In him, God comes to meet us, holding nothing back, offering everything of who he is and what he has.  Through Him and Him alone, we have access to God to such a point that we can now call him Father.

Jesus is the truth.  Not just some truth but the entire truth.  He is God’s definitive and perfect Word expressing who God is, what He’s like, who we are, and what we need to do to be saved from misery and futility.

And Jesus is the life.  He gives us not only commandments and noble ideals, but also the power to live them out, the power to become new people.  That Power is the Lord and Giver of Life Himself, the Holy Spirit, who Jesus pours out on those who accept Him.
