5. Christ Alone

6. 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.“ John 8:31-32 Christ Alone

7. Jesus... and the end of days The End...

8. We are very shy nowadays of even mentioning Heaven. We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere. The End...

9. But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric. If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no. C.S. Lewis The Problem of Pain The End...

10. 1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” John 14:1-4 The End...

11. 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." 8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." -John 14:5-8 The End...

12. 9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? -John 14:9 The End...

13. The End... John 14:1-9 What?Don’t be troubled How?Trust me Why?1.I am leaving – but I am coming back for you 2.I am the Way – the only Way – to the Father 3.The Father? You’re looking at Him

14. The End... Questions for Myself Do I daily acknowledge my own mortality? Do I daily acknowledge that this is not my home? Do I see my life with all my joys and struggles in light of my eternal future? Do I recognize the eternal significance of everything I do? Do I live with anticipation of the future?

15. "The term is over; the holidays have begun. The dream is ended; this is the morning." And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can most truly say they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. The End...

16. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read; which goes on for ever; in which every chapter is better than the one before. C.S. Lewis The Last Battle The End...
