November 22, 2020 -- John 14:6 -- Who Jesus IS
/Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 English Standard Version
There are not many paths to God—Jesus is the One path. Following Him in the obedience which flows from faith in Jesus demonstrates we know that the grace of God has taken hold of us and we live not to earn salvation, but live following Jesus because in Him our sins have been punished and we are already saved. Following Jesus demonstrates the freedom and joy of salvation.
Jesus is the Truth. According to our government the “truth” changes constantly. The lies of gender fluidity is the “new truth”. It is all part of the government’s intentional destruction family revealed by its policies promoting abortion, celebrating “alternative families and life-styles” and Medical Assistance in Death. Such policies reveal the depths of the hatred of our country’s leadership for the things of God and the Truth of Jesus Christ. In Jesus we find the “Yes” and “Amen” of the Bible. What God stated, what is revealed in the Bible has been inspired by the Spirit and has been guarded by this same Spirit so that what God has revealed is true yesterday, today and forever. Blessed be His glorious Name now and forever! That is the most glorious Truth to stand through-out eternity!
Jesus is the Life. Why do we, as Christians, vehemently support life from conception to natural death? Because our lives are not our own—we belong, body and soul, in life and in death to our Faithful Savior Jesus Christ. While we draw breath on earth there is every opportunity to confess Jesus Christ. When we die, those who believe in Jesus are separated from those who do not. Those who do not believe face eternal punishment in hell. Those who believe in Jesus Christ find the abundant life He has given now, will grow bigger, fuller, and more perfect through all eternity in the light of His glory and presence.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Amen.
Psalm 51:10-12
