John
14:5, “Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
It
is very important in these last days that we know Jesus Christ through a
personal relationship. He is the only resource in which we can place
full trust. The systems of our world will fail and are already
beginning the process of collapse. It is paramount that we stay in
intimate communion with Christ and seek His intervention in our
lives. We must know God’s directions for THIS hour.
In
John chapter 14, Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure.
In doing so, He gave them very specific instructions. In verse 1, He
assured them that if they had put their trust in God they could trust
Him(the Son of God). They could believe His promises just as their
forefathers believed the promises of His Father(God). Jesus
encouraged His disciples to understand that He was leaving but He was
going to prepare a place for them. He also assured them that though
He was going away He would return. John 14:3, “And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
Christ’s
promise is that He will always lead the way before us. He will never
leave us! We may turn and walk away from Him but He will never
forsake us. We may feel at times that we are all alone. You may feel
at times that you can identify with the tribulations of Job? Job felt
abandoned, friendless and forgotten. Job 23:8, “Behold, I go
forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive
him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:” In
reality, God was there all along and through his faith Job was able
to declare, “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried
me, I shall come forth as gold,” Job 23:10. And again in Job 19:25,
“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy
this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for
myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another...”
There
may be times that you feel like Job, abandoned, friendless and
forgotten but the reality is that Jesus goes before us leading the
way to our eternal destination. Jesus declared, “I am the way...”
Not a way but the Way! Put your trust in Him and know that He will
always go before you making His way to your eternal home. Our faith
in Him is a sure foundation in these last days because Jesus Is
Leading The Way!
