THE WAY

"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

Too often in the modern day church we trivialize the importance of Christ Jesus. In our rush (however well meaning we may be) to be close to God the Father we often neglect and over look God the Son. In our zeal to become: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Ephesians 4:11) we often forget that the only sure and true way to the heart of the Father is through His Son. Like all children we all long for closeness with the Father. God also longs to be close to us. Yet we must not forget that while we were sinners, it was Christ who reconciled us to the Father. (Romans 5:8-10) In our hast to do the will of God, we should all remember 1 Samuel 15:22 "And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold to obey is better than sacrifice, And to hearken than the fat of rams." I will end with the Father's words to Peter, James and John, "While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." Matthew 17:5
