The world can be a dark and confusing place. Without clear direction or absolute truth, we are all wandering aimlessly. Like ships lost in a storm, a guiding light is necessary to show us the right way to go. While on earth, Jesus was the voice of clarity for His disciples. Through the chaos of life, He had given them footsteps to follow and had always shown them the right way to go. But now along with the grief that He was leaving, they were also painfully aware there was so much they still didn’t understand. What were they supposed to do without Him? So, once again their Guide began to teach. Like puzzle pieces coming together, the big picture of every wonder they had witnessed now came into view: Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, and the fullness of God dwells in Him! This perfect union between Father and Son leaves only one logical conclusion: The Son is the only way to get to the Father. Once again Jesus was showing the way, and the pathway shone brightly through Him. There are many roads of belief, but only one road leads to truth and eternal life. Jesus is the only way. Believe in Him. Our love for Him keeps us firmly on the path, and His Word creates a lamp for our feet as we follow His commands. The journey through a stormy world is not always easy, but Jesus would never leave us alone. Drawing us close, His Spirit was sent to dwell in those who believe. So now, we are forever in the comforting presence of God who leads the way. No longer lost, guidance is found in the Spirit as He works in us to continue the ministry of Christ Jesus in the world. There are many voices, many ideas, and many beliefs, but there is only one truth. It’s found in the Son who made a path for us to walk on. Like a beacon on a stormy night, Jesus lights the way.
