THE WAY

By Rick Mathes

John 14:6 Jesus •said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.

Jesus said, “I AM the Way.” He didn’t say “I know the way,” or “I have the way.” He said, “I AM the Way.” How can a person be a concept? Well, my take on this is the Word is the Way and the Word became flesh in Jesus. The essence took on form in His person. Incredible! The Way became flesh and dwelt among us.

What a needed way His is. Satan has a wide way to destruction in any direction you may choose to go in. They are all marked, “THIS WAY TO HEAVEN.” His way is a new ay for the lost. It’s like stepping out on a different planet. I know from my own born-again experience. The path I followed at that time was an unusual way because He said, “It is finished.”

The way was not under construction. It was a highway to heaven. Oh yes it had its speed bumps and pot holes but all the travel difficulties are there to keep the way clear and safe for we souls to ascend into glory when the last hour draws near. There is no excuse for you not to travel the Way to Him.

Now this is a very personal way because He put your name on the street sign in glory. Think about that! You have your own road that was named for you alone. It can’t get much more inviting than that. It’s a very safe way because the pathway is lined with angels on both sides of the curbs. They are standing at attention ready to protect you at the very command of Jesus. He was made a little lower than angels and in heaven as on earth, so are we when we are justified and sanctified. They stand ready to serve us!

Did you notice that it is not a toll-way so toss your change away because you don’t need it on this free-way. The price has been paid for you to travel it so start your journey today. Consider: What more could you ask for? It’s free and so is the blessing.

You know that the walk you have been taking has been rocky and without direction. It’s all a matter of paying attention to the traffic lights and street signs. Get on your knees and take a look at the green light Jesus has given you. And while your there, did you notice whose name in on the one-way sign?
