Humankind is on a journey. People move in different directions under heaven to reach various destinations, clearly identified by the author as follows: forward using astrology; backward by history; upward by religion; downward and inward by science, art, philosophy, and technology. You see, none of these directions can answer mankind’s deep-seated questions and lead them to the ultimate destination – God!
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father (God) except through me” (John 14:6, NIV). As simple as this sounds, it is the greatest answer to all of man’s questions. The best direction to take in life therefore is Godward! And there is only one acceptable route – He is Jesus Christ, without whom every journey embarked upon will be an exercise in futility.
