the way


the way


In this lesson we will be discovering the Truth of how Jesus is the only way to God and access to eternal life.

Lesson Verses:
Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. |John 10:9
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. | John 1:14
Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. | John 11:25
·         Question 1: What do you think Jesus means in John 10:9 when He says that He is the gate? If Jesus is the gate, what do you think it is that we are entering into?



In John 1:14, it goes on to say that the Word became human and made his home among us. The Word that this scripture is referring to is Jesus Christ. Jesus was with God in the beginning before time, foretold by the prophets in the Old Testament as the one who will come to save the world from their sins. In this context “Word” can simply mean promise or revealing. God’s word is was that He would send a savior to save the world. God’s word was bond. The literal Word that He promised came in human flesh thus revealing the full nature of God in human form.
·         Question 2: Since Jesus Christ is the Word, why would He go through the process of becoming a human?


·         Question 3: Jesus states that He is the resurrection in John 11:25. What do you think Jesus meant by this statement?


So there are 3 key terms I want you to think about after reading these 3 verses; The Way, The Truth and The Life. Jesus is the Way, The Truth and The Life. So let’s break this down by each title.
1.      Jesus is The Way to salvation
2.      Jesus is The Truth of the fullness of God becoming a man
3.      Jesus is The Life; the access to eternal life after death
Let’s elaborate on the last title. Because we have believed we shall live again because Jesus made the way by becoming flesh which is The Truth be it that He is the son of the Father and because of His resurrection, we will be resurrected with Him! Jesus is the example of what we will be when we are raised to life in His second coming.
Ultimately, our destination is eternal life, nut in order to get there we have to believe, trust and accept Jesus who made the way for us!
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. | John 14:3
Pray this prayer
Lord God thank you for being the way. Thank you for stepping down from your throne and becoming a human just like me. Thank you for knowing what it feels like to be human. And ultimately, thank you for taking on all of my sin, dying and resurrecting so that I may have access to your eternal promise of everlasting life. I pray that I continue to grow in my relationship with you. I also pray that if there are others that do not know you that they would come into a relationship with you. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

Gifted

You were gifted with a gift.  You were created with a passion Designed for a purpose, not for form or fashion. You were gifted with a gift Bigger than your mistakes It waits in eager anticipation Your purpose never waits. You were gifted with a gift The time is now The world needs your story But the question is how? You were gifted with a gift Yet the gift may be hidden It seems nonexistent  Almost bed ridden. You were gifted with a gift It's time to bring it to life It may seem irrelevant But someone needs your light. You were gifted with a gift Your life He did save Your sins washed away Your purpose doth made. I know you've been slept on It was all for a reason But hear me when I say Tomorrow is your season. So for today fear not For growth takes time For now, use what you got In His Will, you'll be just fine.

Corona Virus Tagged Our World With Our Feet Off Base

It's like a tough game when we try to play fair We didn't know that this fearful crisis was ever so near  It came in with a sudden blast, we had no clue  But no one really knew what to do It struck like lightning way up in the sky and shook the world with people from far and nigh It clapped like thunder, what a massive sound It twisted the world like a spinning wheel going round and round We are unable to determine when this invisible virus will no longer be around  Morning, noon and midnight lurching down on us without a sound It didn't come like snowflakes that quickly melted away It didn't come through the night and vanished by the break of day But it came almost as quick as the bat of an eye as swift as a rainbow moves in the sky As we continue with this challenge not knowing the outcome We are grateful and appreciative of what others have done We can stand and rest assure that GOD is bigger than any virus we know And he wil

Who Are You?

If God said it, believe it. Everyone walks through life looking for their identity. Looking for meaning and purpose. Often times we look in the wrong places. It can be any noun under the sun; people, places and things. But true identity can be found in the security of God. God says that you're His son. God says that you're His daughter. So if God says these things, why not believe it? The problem is that we are listening to the world. We're listening to the media. We're listening to the opinions of other people. We're listening to rejection. We're listening to the lies of the enemy. But what about that still small voice that speaks to us all of the time? That still small voice that doesn't lie to you but instead constantly reminds you that you are His. That still small voice that shows patience. That still small voice that waits for you and welcomes you back with open arms. That still small voice that affirms you as His own. This still small voice made
