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.”
In these last days, we must know Jesus Christ through a personal
relationship. He is the only resource that we can fully trust. The systems of
our world will fail and are already beginning the process of collapse. We must 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 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!
