The Way!!!

John 14:1-6 NCV “Jesus said, ‘Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house; I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with me so that you may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to Jesus, ‘Lord we don’t know where you are going. So how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, and the truth and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.”

When Christianity first began it was referred to as The Way…

A new teaching, a new philosophy…this too shall pass! So some thought!!!

But it didn’t…and over two thousand year’s later, the Lord’s words still stand firm, steadfast, proven, and has withstood the passing of the ages of time. I think we must truly ask ourselves if the word of God was not breathed from God to man how could it still pertain and ring true today? These men of old lived in an age we can only picture through reading and imagination.

Women baked bread in open stone ovens! There weren’t machines to limb and debark trees; men’s hands did it, ox and hand plowed fields, planting, and harvest by their backs, they didn’t sit in a combine with the air conditioning on and the radio playing. I can’t even imagine traveling, yet Paul and the groups of the Lord’s merry men walked and sailed thousands upon thousands of miles, teaching and showing the way!

Generation after generation ways get handed down, recipes, stories, traditions. These ways have withstood time and trials, they are so common to us now we take them for granted, they are part of our everyday lives, they just are. I wonder if we can get that way with the everyday blessings from Jesus?

We are forgiven! We have a direct relationship with God the Father! We have the mighty comfort of the Holy Spirit. We have the power to walk in health, protection, provision, direction, guidance and love! He sends his angels to fight our spiritual battles and comfort us in our times of trial and pain.

When we give ourselves to Jesus, he sends heavens hosts to surround! You belong to him, and he takes that very personally. We need to take his love and sacrifice very personally because it was! He died so that you might live.

Dear Lord, forgive me for all the times I take you for granted, the times I forget to offer thanksgiving for your blessings and love. Help me to see you everywhere in everything I do. I give you my heart Lord Jesus and I ask you to come and live within it and make my home yours. I long for the day I see your glorious being appear and join you in heaven, but until that day, I ask for your strength to do your works, to share your message of love and acceptance. I thank you for your sacrifice on the cross for me; thank you for daily showing me too, The Way!!! In your name I pray. Amen 🙏

Thank you as always for joining me, and have a blessed day! 🥰
