Life looks very different when we start listening to Jesus and learning from him.

Who knows if it's true? - that's what lots of people say about the story of Jesus. Very often, people listen to what all kinds of people tell them - but they don't listen to Jesus. He comes to us from such a long time ago - and many people they think that they don't need to bother with him. Is it possible that Jesus offers to something that no-one else can give to us? The world has its heroes, people that they think are great. These are the people who get their attention. What about Jesus? We know about him from the Bible - a book of stories from the ancient past. Do these stories still have something to say to us? Some people say, "No " - but there may be others who are willing to listen - and learn. Jesus invites to us "ask, seek and knock" - "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7). Ask, seek and knock - Is this the way in which we will get an answer to the question, "Who knows if it's true?"? This doesn't mean that we'll have an answer to every question - but it may mean that we'll begin to see life in a different way when we start listening to Jesus and learning from him.
