Each morning when I wake up I say “Lord, speak to me. Father, speak through me.” No, I’m not vain enough to believe that every word I say or write is from the Lord – but that is my goal. The Lord has been dealing with me on absolutes.
You remember High School Math & Science – some things are absolutes.
The same holds true with God’s word and yet we often miss them because of their simplicity. The word “The” often links to an absolute; so for the next few days I want us to look at a few Scriptures that are absolutely true, whether we choose to believe them or not.
“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
THE way, THE truth, THE life – not a way, a truth or a life.
In coming to Jesus and having Him take us to THE Father we have his promise of being on the right way, having truth and life.
I read something a friend wrote the day about Jesus being THE WAY. It stuck with me. Imagine you are trying to call a friend. You put in the number and when it connects it’s the wrong person. Embarrassed, you say, “I must have dial the wrong number. Is this xxx-xxxx?” To which the person on the other end says no, this is xxx-xxxy.
You’ve dialed incorrectly.
There is one way, “the” way, to reach heaven. It isn’t by our good intentions, living an honorable life, being well versed in world philosophy. No, there is only “the” way.
God’s Word is absolute. Everything else will eventually fail. I choose to stand with the Word as my firm foundation.
“Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock. 25 Rain poured down, rivers flooded, and winds beat against that house. But it did not fall, because it was built on solid rock.” Matthew 7:24-25 CEV
Focus on THE today.
