John 14:6-7
Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really know Me, you will know My Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.’
When I was in high school, I worked part-time for a local dairy. My dad and brother both worked there, so it was a family affair. Since I was just working when the need arose, I never knew where they would assign me.
That was back in the days when milk was delivered to the door. That was long before Global Positioning Systems (GPS). We had a route book that gave each household where we were to deliver milk and cream and in what quantities, but I wondered how I would be able to find my way through the various neighborhoods.
The driver who was training me had me read the strange numbers and letters before each address: x2-tr-x3-tl 2nd on left. The address was then given. The x marks indicated the number of streets to cross, tr meant to turn right and of course tl meant turn left. Those silly symbols insured that you would be able to find your way to the desired goal.
Jesus is our road map to our eternal home. If we get our eyes focused on the wrong things such as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life, we will find ourselves on a dead end street. He is the way the truth and the life!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
