In John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus is the WAY. Do you feel like you have lost your way? Or maybe you feel like you have been climbing up the rough side of the mountain for a long season. Sometimes it may feel like the boat is getting ready to sink out there on the stormy sea. Many are standing at the crossroads right now and don’t know which direction to go.
Jesus said, “I am the way.” The word “way” can mean the course of human conduct, the manner of life which one lives, or a traveled road, a path, or direction. Jesus is simply saying, “follow me.”
Ezra 8: 21 – Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. Jesus is the way for you and your children, your home and your career. The Bible says to ask for wisdom in all things, in every area of our lives.
Psalm 1:6 – For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Choosing the right way is the guaranteed formula for success and prosperity.
Ecclesiastes 11:5 – As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest now the works of God who maketh all. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. God say, “I know the plans I have for you, not of evil, but plans to proser you and give you an expected end.”
Isaiah 26:7 – The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Follow Jesus always in all things. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.
Jeremiah 6:16 – Thus, saith the Lord, “stand ye in the way and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” But they said, “we will not walk therein.” You will find true rest for your soul when you get back on the old paths, which is the good way. The old paths are tried and true and they have weathered the storms of life.
Matt 7:13-14 – Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. There is only one way to get to heaven and that is through Jesus. He is the door to the sheepfold. There is no back entrance into heaven.
2 Peter 2:2 – And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (Pernicious means: corrupt, damaging, dangerous, deadly, destructive, evil, hurtful, etc.)
Maybe someone has told you to “get out of the way” for whatever reason. Today, I am telling you to “get in the way” with Jesus. You will win every time! AMEN. SO BE IT.
