Q11. How has Jesus life & teaching been meaningful to you?
Christ was not a religious fanatic. He was the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Nonetheless, the nature of his mission and message was such that it was bound to ignite controversy—and certainly it did. Great truths come to light in these engagements between God’s Son and those who adopted the position of adversaries. Even today, conflict and confusion over the life death and resurrection of Jesus, for our salvation, continues in the many religions throughout the world. But there is still the one single truth that belies all other claims to anyone’s salvation.
John 14:6  Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
