Others carry great significance for our future. "Will I marry this man?", "Should I accept this job offer?"
A few decisions carry eternal significance and consequence. In fact, ONE DECISION ALONE will ultimately determine the destiny of every human being.
Jesus asked this question of His disciples when He walked the earth 2000 years ago, and still the question rings through the ages.

Mary Magdelene, the infamous sinner turned saint, and a figure of historical controversy and speculation, met the risen Christ in a garden near the tomb in which, only hours before, He lay dead. Not recognising Him through her grief, He asked her the question, "Whom do you seek?"

People everywhere are seeking answers to life's questions. Your ONE ANSWER to ONE QUESTION can change everything, and bring sense and perspective to the confusion that surrounds us in the world today?
It is not by acts of charity, or religious observances and rituals, nor by suffering or success, that we will come to discover the solution to our dilemma. When asked how a person could works the works of God, Jesus' answer was profoundly simple.
They may have expected Him to say, "Go to church three times a week and say your prayers", or "do good and be nice to everyone, give to the poor and love your neighbour", maybe they expected a much more extreme answer. Something impressive to earn God's favour and honour. Instead Jesus said with utmost humility;
"This is the work of God. That you believe on Him whom He has sent."
