Many are looking for God. They want to meet Him. They want to question Him. They want His help in their time of need. They want His good will and His good favor. The question is how does mankind find God?

God is the Creator, the Ruler of the Universe, and is far more supreme than man. We recognize in ourselves a desire and need to worship God and to find favor with Him. But we fear that we are not in favor.

Many have come in the name of God. They tell us what we must do to win God's favor. We may follow these for a time, until it proves futile. Then we seek another who will tell us how to find God.

Jesus the Christ says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6 KJV)

How could Jesus make such an extraordinary claim? He backed up his words with physical evidence. The Bible records many miracles Jesus performed with extraordinary power. Many witnesses followed Jesus who told what they saw and heard. A group of twelve men, called the Apostles, were with Jesus for three years and they too told what they heard and saw.

Jesus gave an explanation of how these things occurred. He claimed that God was His Father and gave Him the power to perform miracles and to forgive sin. He said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then
