God sent Jesus to be the way back to Himself by having Him die on the Cross at Calvary. (Matt 20:17-19, 28)
But on the third day, Jesus was raised to life again - (Matt 28:1-10, 16-20) so that all who believe in Him will also be raised to life again. (John 11:25, 26)
Jesus says this,
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
the only way to the Father is through Me." John 14:6
And this is our invitation from Jesus;
who are tired
and have heavy loads,
and I will give you rest.
Accept My teachings
and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit,
and you will find rest
for your lives.
The teaching that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light."
Matt 11:28-30
THE WORD
John Chapter 1, verses 1-41 In the beginning there was
the Word.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were made by Him, and nothing
was made without Him.
4 In Him there was life, and that life was
the light of all people.

Life Only In Jesus
Matt 11:28-30
28"Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.
29Accept my teachings and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives. 30The teaching that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light."
John 14:6
16Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
The only way to the Father is through me.
John 17:3
3And this is eternal life: that people know you, the only true God,
and that they know Jesus Christ, the One you sent.
John 11:25, 26
25Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will have life even if they die.
26And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
John 20:31
31But these are written so that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
Then, by believing, you may have life through his name.
Jesus is Lord
Romans 10:8-108 This is what the Scripture says: "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart."
That is the teaching of faith that we are telling.
9If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.
10We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God.
And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved.
A New Relationship With God
Romans 5:6-116When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
7Now, no one is likely to die for a good person, though someone might be willing to die for a person who is especially good.
8But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
9And since we have been made right in God's sight
by the blood of Christ,
he will certainly save us from God's judgment.
10For since we were restored to friendship with God
by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies,
we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment
by his life.
11So now we can rejoice in our wonderful
new relationship with God -
all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us
in making us friends of God. NLT
Life Forever in Christ Jesus
Romans 6:20-2320In the past you were slaves to sin, and goodness did not control you.
21You did evil things, and now you are ashamed of them.
Those things only bring death. 22But now you are free from sin and have become slaves of God.
This brings you a life that is only for God, and this gives you life forever.
23When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death.
But God gives us a free gift—life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Spirit of Christ
Romans 8:9-119You are ruled by the Spirit, if that Spirit of God really lives in you.
But the person who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ.
10Your body will always be dead because of sin.
But if Christ is in you, then the Spirit gives you life,
because Christ made you right with God.
11God raised Jesus from the dead, and if God’s Spirit is living in you,
he will also give life to your bodies that die.
God is the One who raised Christ from the dead,
and he will give life through his Spirit that lives in you.
Rom 6:4
4When we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death.
So, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the wonderful power of the Father, we also can live a new life.
Rom 7:6
6In the past, the law held us like prisoners, but our old selves died, and we were made free from the law.
So now we serve God in a new way with the Spirit, and not in the old way with written rules.
Rom 12:2
2Do not change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but be changed within by a new way of thinking.
Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you;
you will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.
2Cor 4:16
16So we do not give up.
Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day.
2Cor 5:4, 5
4While we live in this body, we have burdens, and we groan. We do not want to be naked, but we want to be clothed with our heavenly home.
Then this body that dies will be fully covered with life.
5This is what God made us for, and he has given us the Spirit to be a guarantee for this new life.
2Cor 5:17
17If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation.
The old things have gone; everything is made new!
2Gal 5:24, 25
24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their own sinful selves.
They have given up their old selfish feelings and the evil things they wanted to do.
25 We get our new life from the Spirit, so we should follow the Spirit.
Eph 2:4, 5
4But God’s mercy is great, and he loved us very much.
5Though we were spiritually dead because of the things we did against God, he gave us new life with Christ.
Eph 4:22-24
22You were taught to leave your old self — to stop living the evil way you lived before.
That old self becomes worse, because people are fooled by the evil things they want to do.
23But you were taught to be made new in your hearts, 24to become a new person.
That new person is made to be like God—made to be truly good and holy.
Your New Life in Christ
Col 3:3, 43Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God.
3Christ is our life, and when he comes again, you will share in his glory.
Col 3:9-11
9You have left your old sinful life and the things you did before.
10You have begun to live the new life, in which you are being made new and are becoming like the One who made you.
This new life brings you the true knowledge of God.
11In the new life there is no difference between Greeks and Jews, those who are circumcised and those who are not circumcised, or people who are foreigners, or Scythians.
There is no difference between slaves and free people.
But Christ is in all believers, and Christ is all that is important.
Titus 3:4-7
4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was shown, 5 he saved us because of his mercy.
It was not because of good deeds we did to be right with him.
He saved us through the washing that made us new people through the Holy Spirit.
6God poured out richly upon us that Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Savior.
7Being made right with God by his grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends.
Heb 10:19, 20
19So, brothers and sisters, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place without fear because of the blood of Jesus’ death.
20We can enter through a new and living way that Jesus opened for us.
1John 3:9
9Those who are God’s children do not continue sinning, because the new life from God remains in them.
They are not able to go on sinning, because they have become children of God.
Matt 19:28-30
28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, when the age to come has arrived, the Son of Man will sit on His great throne. All of you who followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And all those who have left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms to follow Me will get much more than they left, and they will have life forever.
30 Many who have the highest place now will have the lowest place in the future. And many who have the lowest place now will have the highest place in the future.
Titus 3:4-7
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour was shown, 5 He saved us because of His mercy.
It was not because of good deeds we did to be right with Him. He saved us through the washing that made us new people through the Holy Spirit.
6 God poured out richly upon us that Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
7 Being made right with God by His grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends.
Entering God's Kingdom
Matthew 7:21-2321Not everyone who calls Me their Lord
will get into the kingdom of heaven.
Only the ones who obey My Father in heaven will get in.
22On the day of judgment many will call Me their Lord.
They will say, "We preached in Your name, and in Your name we forced out demons and worked many miracles."
23But I will tell them,
"I will have nothing to do with you!
Get out of My sight, you evil people!"
Jesus, the Bread of Life
John 6:25-3525When the people found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, when did you come here?”
26Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, you aren’t looking for me because you saw me do miracles.
You are looking for me because you ate the bread and were satisfied.
27Don’t work for the food that spoils. Work for the food that stays good always and gives eternal life.
The Son of Man will give you this food, because on him God the Father has put his power.”
28The people asked Jesus, “What are the things God wants us to do?”
29Jesus answered, “The work God wants you to do is this:
Believe the One he sent.”
30 So the people asked, “What miracle will you do? If we see a miracle, we will believe you. What will you do?
31Our fathers ate the manna in the desert. This is written in the Scriptures: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven; it is my Father who is giving you the true bread from heaven.
33 God’s bread is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34The people said, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
35 Then Jesus said, “I am the bread that gives life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
36But as I told you before, you have seen me and still don’t believe.
37 The Father gives me my people. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.
38 I came down from heaven to do what God wants me to do, not what I want to do.
39 Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me,
but I must raise them all on the last day.
40Those who see the Son and believe in him have eternal life,
and I will raise them on the last day.
This is what my Father wants.”
A Rich Young Man’s Question
Matt 19:16-2816A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have life forever?”
17Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good.
But if you want to have life forever, obey the commands.”
18The man asked, “Which commands?” Jesus answered, “ ‘You must not murder anyone; you must not be guilty of adultery;
you must not steal; you must not tell lies about your neighbor;
19honor your father and mother; and love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”
20 The young man said, “I have obeyed all these things. What else do I need to do?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell your possessions and give the money to the poor.
If you do this, you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he left sorrowfully, because he was rich.
23Then Jesus said to his followers, “I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24Yes, I tell you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 25When Jesus’ followers heard this, they were very surprised and asked, “Then who can be saved?”
26Jesus looked at them and said, “This is something people cannot do, but God can do all things.”
27Peter said to Jesus, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. So what will we have?”
28Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, when the age to come has arrived, the Son of Man will sit on his great throne.
All of you who followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29And all those who have left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms to follow me will get much more than they left, and they will have life forever.
30Many who have the highest place now will have the lowest place in the future. And many who have the lowest place now will have the highest place in the future.
