John 14:4-6 – "You know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. So how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Many years ago, the phrase "I'm lost" was something we heard and possibly said quite often. When I first started practicing law, I kept a map of every major town in Central Florida in my car. The reason was simply because I would often have to find a street and address on my map almost every day. There was no GPS.
Today, we have become so accustomed to our GPS that we rarely ever use the phrase "I'm lost."
For Christians, this phrase has a very special or different meaning. If someone claims inside our church that "I'm lost," it immediately causes our attention to perk. For a person to be lost to a believer means simply that they have not been saved. That they do not know a particular person, Jesus Christ.
In today's passage, Jesus describes Himself as being the Way to get to the place that He goes to prepare for each of us. Thomas, his disciple, declared that he did not know the way that the Lord was describing. He did not know how to get to God's house.
Jesus exclaimed, "I am the way." Even as believers, we often make the same mistake as Thomas. We become confused in the direction of where we should go and what path we should take to follow Christ.
Jesus made it very clear that to know the path is simply to know Him. Today, relax and feel great joy that you know the way. You know, Jesus Christ.
Stay healthy and have a blessed weekend!
