The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything
Today is a special day in my life.
This weekend is the 40th anniversary of the day that Marty McFly traveled through time for the first time. (My favorite movie. 😉)
I also enjoy many other great stories about time travel and such, one of those being Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” books and other media. Even though he was writing as an atheist who thought religion should be done away with, he was very witty and wrote well.
Within this story we discover that the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42. (The question being discovered is part of the plot of the series.)
Today happens to be my birthday.
And it is special to me because I get to joke around that I am now the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
However, I am aware of the greater truth:
John 14:6, CSB
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.John 14:15-17, CSB
“If you love me, you will keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever. He is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive him because it doesn’t see him or know him. But you do know him, because he remains with you and will be in you.”
I am not really the answer, but I have the answer living within me.
The Creator of Life, the Universe, and Everything lives in me and gives me life amd truth, and I must be ready to share this answer with all people.
Matthew 28:18-20, CSB
Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”1 Peter 3:15, CSB
but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
VerseD: John 14:6
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6, CSB
We love the Church, for this is where Christ dwells by the Holy Spirit, and we share the Truth as the only Way to eternal Life as a collective Body for His glory.
VerseD: John 14:6
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6, CSB
Humble, sacrificial service out of love for God and others is the expectation for those who carry the name of Jesus, remembering that we do not save people. Only Christ is truly the way to eternal life and forgiveness. We just share Him with everyone.
VerseD: John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5, ESV
The hope of Christ is that the long-awaited Messiah has come, pushing back the darkness of evil and showing us the path to God and out of sin and shame.
VerseD: Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV
Prayer changes us, and especially it helps us to think like God and trust in His ways.
VerseD: Psalm 143:8
Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8, NASB1995
We seek God because of His great love and grace, but we must also seek all His truth, not just what we like. Following His truth is how we show we love Him.
VerseD: John 14:6
Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
John 14:6, NASB1995
We seek God if we are open to the full truth, and Jesus says He is the only Way, Truth, and Life that can be found and save us. If we seek truth, we will want to share Jesus with the world.
VerseD: Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
Matthew 7:13-14, ESV
We think we can make our way to Heaven, but it is only by Christ who did all things well that we can get to God. the path begins with the Holy Spirit changing us in faith.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
