The first-order questions of life:
• Is there more to life than this?
• What am I doing on earth?
• What is the point of life?
• What is the purpose of my life?
• Where am I heading?
C. S. Lewis: ‘I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.’
Jesus is the lens through which we see God. He is the way to God.
Jesus is also the lens by which we see the world in a totally different dimension and clarity.
C. S. Lewis: ‘Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.’

‘I have come that [you] may have life, and have it to the full’ (John 10:10).
Jesus came to deal with:

• Our guilt
God loves you and he came, in the person of his Son, Jesus, to set you free to enjoy life to the full.
(John 14 v6)
