“Thomas said to Him, ‘Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.'” (John 14:5-6)
ATV RIDE
I went ATV (all terrain vehicle) riding some years ago in a mountain area near our home.
And as for me it might as well have been on the moon.
I had no idea where I was from the moment we took the trail.
If somebody would have come along and asked me for directions, I would have gave them south for north and east for west.
It was that bad.
I learned real quickly if I was ever gonna make it out and be in church on Sunday (it happened to be a Saturday afternoon at the time and I was scheduled to preach) I best stay on the tail of the lead rider who knew the way.
LEAD RIDER
And if we’re ever gonna make it to heaven – you know where I’m going with this?! – we best stay on the tail of the lead rider, Mohammad.
Oops!
That was a slip of the tongue.
Let me try it again.
And if we’re ever gonna make it to heaven we best stay on the tail of the lead rider, Buddha.
Oops again!
What’s wrong with me?
Please, just one more try.
I’ll get it right this time.
And if we’re ever gonna make it to heaven we best stay on the tail of the lead rider, Jesus.
There.
That’s it.
I got it right that time.
Jesus is the only Person who knows the way.
And beyond that, He IS the way!
Who are you behind on your spiritual quad today?
If it’s Christ, you’re going in the right direction.
He died on the cross for your sins and rose again on the third day.
Repent and believe the gospel and bear fruit in keeping with repentance. (Mark 1:15)
