BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 14:5-9
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
KEY VERSE: “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)
MESSAGE:
A junction is a place or point where two or more things meet, especially a place where two roads come together. Some junctions could be confusing as one may not know whether to continue going straight, turn to the left or to the right. Darella, on her way to her new school, got to a junction and was not sure where to turn. Sadly, there was no one to guide her. She mistakenly turned to the left instead of turning to the right. She missed the way and got to her school very late. Jesus Christ is the Guide that does not make mistakes. He created us and knows all about us. He does not only know the way, He is the WAY.
From our text today, we learnt that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. We need Him always to lead and help us make right decisions. Our parents and teachers would not always be with us, but Jesus is always with His friends. Make Jesus your Saviour and Lord now by turning away from your sins, and He will be your Friend and Guide. If you are already a friend of Jesus, learn to trust Him with all your heart and follow Him as He guides you. Remember, He has the best for you.
PRAYER: O Lord, please help me to always obey You as You guide me all the way.
FURTHER READING: Psalm 32:7-11
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
