JESUS IN THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND LIFE.
"Jesus told them: "I AM THE WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father, except through Me." John 14:6 (NLT)
"HE IS THE TRUTH, with no other TRUTH outside of Him. He is LIFE, and the LIFE GIVER HIMSELF, allowing us to live as God intended. HE IS THE WAY. Jesus does not just point us in the right direction - IT'S HIM! HE IS THE WAY!" You Version
When I became a Christian, the first thing I wanted to do was FOLLOW JESUS - to live the WAY He wanted me to. I wanted to READ HIS WORD so I could know the TRUTH. And most of all as Jesus promised me, I WANTED TO LIVE A LIFE LIKE HIM. There were good times when I served Him, and their were times I wanted to do things MY WAY. But most of the time, I just wanted to sing: "I'LL DO IT GOD'S WAY".
Everyone wants to live a GOOD LIFE, FOLLOWING GOD'S WILL, but we can only do this if we choose the correct path. Jesus already knew the path He wanted His disciples to follow, just as He does for us. He told them:
"I am going away, but you know where I am going." John 14:4 (NCV)
They didn't understand fully what He said, but one day they would, and they would know what God would want from them. They just needed to TRUST IN HIM and HIS FATHER.
"Therefore, go and make disiciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I hav commanded you. And surely I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19&20
1. THE WAY
Jesus wants us to choose THE WAY to follow Him and His Father. Jesus is the ONLY WAY TO HIS FATHER. He established Himself as the WAY TO HIS FATHER and is the only way to HOPE AND LOVE.
Everyone needs to grow in their relationship with Jesus and His Father. Take this PATH that leads to this relationship. You have a great WAY to walk with God, to keep going on this path that leads to TRUTH and an "even better LIFE to come."
"Show me YOUR WAYS, Lord, teach me YOUR PATHS." Psalm 1:4 (NIV)
"For I KNOW THE PLANS I have for you", says the Lord, "PLANS to prosper you ands and not to harm you; PLANS to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
These are two of my favourite verses. They help me to rely on Jesus and to follow HIS WAY and not my own.
2. THE TRUTH
"TRUST IN THE LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5&6 (NKJV)
"If you abide in My Word, you are my disciples indeed. And you shall KNOW THE TRUTH and the TRUTH shall make you free." John 8:31&32 (NKJV)
You always need TRUTH . Jesus is your best friend, and your relationship with Him will be strengthened. You can live in TRUTH. What more can I say? There is nothing more I can do but TRUST in my Lord - my Saviour and my Friend. It is by TRUSTING and HOPING in Him, we can have LIFE ETERNAL.
"Jesus is the way and no one comes to the Father , except through Jesus. HE IS THE TRUTH. To live in the TRUTH in a relationship of love with JESUS WHO IS TRUTH." Nicky Gumbel
"Do not let your heart be troubled, TRUST (BELIEVE) in God, TRUST (BELIEVE) also in Me." John 14:1 (NLT/NKJV)
3. THE LIFE
"If you love Me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father and He will give you another advocate to help you and to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him or knows Him. But you know Him, for HE LIVES WITH YOU and is in you." John 14:15-17 (NIV)
Jesus dwells among us and HE IS LIFE. He also GIVES US LIFE! Let us LIVE LIFE to the fullest! Jesus is the ONLY ONE who can give us this VICTORY in our NEW LIFE with Him. Jesus is the only way to LIFE ETERNAL, and everyone needs this "new beginning" with Him. It is the BETTER LIFE to come, just like Jesus.
"CHRIST is indeed the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. He is the WAY to the FATHER, there is NO OTHER TRUTH outside HIMSELF. He is the LIFE GIVER allowing us to live as HE LIVES." You Version
