The Way

(Jesus said…) "And you know the way where I am going." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." John 14:4-6  

Our pastor has just done a series of sermons on Jesus words, “I AM” and this is another one of those passages where Jesus states, “I AM” telling His disciples and us that He is the way…the way to His Father who is in Heaven. Jesus was telling His disciples and us that He was headed for Heaven—back to Heaven. He was telling us that He is the truth…He always speaks the truth and He IS the truth—pure through and through. He is life…eternal life. Spiritual life for everyone who believes in Him. He is the way, the truth, and the life—drawing those who believe in Him to the Heavenly Father. This Greek translation of “the way” occurs 100 times in the Bible. It refers to a traveled road or to a manner of thinking. Do you see Jesus as being a roadway along which you can travel to get His Father who is in heaven?  

RSVP: Jesus is plainly telling us that the only way to His Father is by knowing Him and following His way—He is The Way. How will you respond today to knowing this? Will it be any different from the way you responded to Jesus previously? 

Prayer~ Dear Jesus—You are the Way—the best and only way for us to know and go to Your Father. We humbly bow before You and reverently come before You and Your Father to worship and adore You.
 
May the spiritual armor that the Northwest District Work & Witness Team in Portugal puts on today protect, guard and guide them as they travel and see the Pilgrimage to Fátima. Blessings on you all~
