Lesson 1. Letter From a Friend

lightstock_36865_car2

This special letter is from our Friend Jesus. It is like an instruction book or manual for our life. This letter is called The Bible.

Take a look at a motor-car. By the badge on the front we know who made it. We know its purpose. The owner of the car receives an instruction manual explaining how to care for the car to get the maximum performance from it.

Like the motor-car, we have a maker. To function efficiently, we need an instruction manual.

Let's explore the Bible to see if it is really a reliable instruction manual for our lives.
