September 11, 2024 - John 14:6
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NLT
Jesus, we can never thank you enough for coming to earth and dying a sinner’s death to make a way for us. How amazing. Never let us take that for granted. We want to bring you honor for what you have done for us all the days of our lives here on earth. Help us to understand the truth in this verse. You are The way, The truth, and The life. There isn’t another way. There isn’t any truth outside of you. There isn’t life outside of you. Everything is because of you. Outside of you nothing exists. Jesus, you are the only way to the Father. Our world wants to tell us that you are one of many ways, one of many truths, and that life exists outside of you. But that isn’t truth. Even though we are surrounded by these lies and at times they are made to sound really believable, help us not to buy into anything that says something other than the truth of this verse.
Jesus, you are the only way to heaven. How many people do we know that don’t believe that? How many people around the world would go to hell today if they died because they don’t know you or believe in you? This can be a hard truth to swallow and because of that it can be easy for us to want to believe that there has to be other ways. You gave us as the church the task of making your name known. We will give an account for the people that we should have shared your truth with but didn’t. Lord, give us a heart for the lost like you have. Help us to see people through your eyes and have an urgency to make sure that people have the opportunity to know and choose you, Jesus. Help no one perish without knowing you that we could have had a part in leading to you.
In Jesus name, amen.
