I AM THE WAY

Today’s Text: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Today’s Thoughts: Christ is the way. Living a life with Him in our hearts is the best way to live. That is the only way to get to Heaven. We must have Him in our hearts. Truth, life and the way to the Father can only be found in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. There is no other way.

Today’s Testimony: Just for a little bit of background for those of you who do not know me. I have two sisters, one of which is my twin sister. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa. My parents got divorced when I was 5 years old; and when my mom remarried when I was 12, we moved up to Durban.
For my sister and my 13th birthday, during our first year in Durban, our dad flew up. We stayed in a hotel on the beach front and caught buses if we wanted to go anywhere beyond walking distance.
One day we caught a bus, and when we got off at our destination, the bus-driver said, “When you want to go back, just wait on the other side.” We thought, “Well obviously, you travel up the road on the opposite side to the side you travel down the road.”
When we were ready to catch the bus, we went to find a bus stop on the “other side” of the road. We walked a bit, without finding a single bus-stop. We finally decided that our best option would be to cross the road to where there were bus-stops; catch a bus; and then just wait for it to travel back up the road. We crossed the road, and when we were nearly at the bus-stop my dad stopped and said, “Look at the cars.” We looked for a while, and then my dad said, “They’re all going the same direction.”
We had been standing on a one way street trying to catch a bus going in the opposite direction!!! Then we understood what the bus-driver meant by “other side”. We all packed up laughing.
Sometimes we think we’re going the right way. We do everything we’re supposed to do, but we miss the most important ingredient for our lives – Jesus Christ. Are you looking for fulfilment on the wrong side of the road? Christ is calling you to the other side, the side where you’ll find Him – the way, the truth and the life.

Today’s Task: Choose Christ today to fill your every need. There is only one way to truly find peace, and that is in Jesus. Give God a chance. Ask Him to be your God.

Today’s Thanks: O Lord, help us to turn to You. Lord You are the only way; the only truth; the only life. We want Your way; Your truth; Your life. I thank You that You have given us the opportunity today to surrender to You. Lord, may we surrender. Amen.
