The Way

I haven't been here for some time now. I have been doing a lot of studying and work around the house. I read a bible lesson today that really touched on the ministry God has placed on my heart.

As stated in my ministry focus statement, we are trying to help men get on and stay on the "Path Of Life" which is Jesus' way. The Bible often pictures life as a journey, in which we must choose the road we will travel. We should be careful because, "There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 16:25)."

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it (Matthew 7:13-14)."

Although there may seem to be many roads (paths,) in reality they come down to two choices. How can we see which way to take?
"I am the light of the world," Jesus said, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness" (John 8:12). As for the gate which leads to life, He is that Gate (John 10:9). He is also the Way (John 14:6; Hebrews 10:20). All who enter by this Gate, and follow this Way, come to the City prepared by God Himself. In this City God meets all our needs (Hebrews 11:16; 12:22; Revelation 21:22).

It is not surprising, then, that early Christianity was called "the Way" (Acts 24:14,22). This "Way" is not just one more idea, among many ideas, about life. The Way of the Bible brings us to a Person, a Guide who says of Himself, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life" 14:6).

Please let this be a reminder to us all that The Way (Path) is Jesus and his sacrifice for our sin.

Don't forget to share the love of Christ with someone today!

Bless you all.
