FAITH CAPSULE: It is impossible to walk two ways at the same time.
John 10:1-30
Truly, life is a challenging journey that is full of ups and down. Have you been saying or considering that life is difficult? Is it possible that you are the one that has been living life in a difficult way? Life can be challenging, but man can always overcome the challenges of life by making the choice of the right way. There is a way to live life and to live it abundantly; there is a way to live life and to live it with challenges that will not overtake man. Taking to a complicated way is to complicate the journey of life. The way of complication is encased in too many ways in the place of way and truth at a time. However, it is impossible to walk two ways at the same time and get to the expected end. Taking to the journey of life that leads to expected end demands the only one way that leads to the expected end. Have you chosen the right way? John 14:6, Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Jesus is the only way that is true.
The reason to take the way, the truth is stated in John 10:10, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Mark 10:45 recorded the reason of Jesus’ coming, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” By taking to the journey of life, which way will you chose for route? The way of life is not about what seems right. Taking a way that seems right often leads to destruction. Proverbs 14:12 sounded the warning of avoiding what “seems” to be the right way stating, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
Jesus said, “…I am the way, the truth…” In the way of the truth, challenges will emerge but man shall overcome.
What He has said, He meant. He has never lied, and He will not lie. Take a moment and begin to re-trace your steps to see if you have taken to the way that seems right. Lift your eyes up unto Him today and ask Him for help. He is a compassionate God that does not cease from being compassionate.
Above all, the journey of life demands truth that makes man becomes free. Jesus, the way, the truth admonished, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) Take to your journey through the way; abide in the truth that leads to expected end.
Prayer for today: Ask Him to redirect your steps from every way you might have taken outside of His holy name.
