Ready for Take-Off: Find Your Nearest Exit
In case of an emergency landing, it is important to know the nearest path to exiting the plane so the flight attendants take a moment to make sure you know where yours is before taking off. Spiritually speaking, do you know where your exit is located? There really is only one…through Jesus Christ who died for our sins that we might have abundant and eternal life. The world offers all sorts of other solutions to the problems of our lives…self-reliance, drugs and alcohol, popularity, wealth…but those paths will only lead to heartache and loss. But through Jesus there is real life…now and for all eternity.
John 14:1-6
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to the Father
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
