The Way

For the past few days, whenever I sit down to read the bible the word way or path, have been standing out to me, like it has a lightbulb on it. And it appears in so many scriptures, so what do we need to know about the way?

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The first thing that comes to mind when I say the way, for me at least is the above scripture. Funnily enough however it’s not one of the scriptures I have been reading that brought, way or path to my attention. But all things in this faith come back to Christ, and I think that is a good place to start when understanding what God is highlighting through the word way, is Christ. Christ is the pathway to the Father

“And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;”

‭‭I Kings‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Here in 1 Kings 2:3, David is beseeching his son Solomon to follow the ways of God, in this case His statutes or His Word, for they lead to prosperity. We know that the Word and Christ are one in the same. And I feel God is crying out to us to follow Him and Him alone, to set our eyes on Him. I pray that as you read this God will illuminate His way to you and make clear for you the way that you should go. There is a way, free of destruction for you and it is Christ, live in Him.

“Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
