What is the JESUS Way?
Reference: Jn 14:4-6
Confused Thomas reflects the world today—individuals and families alike. We’re lost, longing, searching for direction, weighed down by stress, facing struggles, and caught in a whirlwind of mixed feelings—constantly fighting or stretching to keep going.
What is the expectation of the world? It is a longing for direction and purpose. Jesus desires to lead the world, yet we often find ourselves questioning and doubting His guidance. At the crossroads of life, delays, distractions, difficult decisions, and disappointments amplify the cry for clarity and hope. In the midst of these challenges, the yearning for divine direction grows stronger, echoing through the hearts of those seeking a path forward.
Doubts aren’t wrong, and they don’t mark the end—they’re often the start of deeper understanding. In a world of competing truths, shifting values, and endless options, Jesus offers Himself as the unchanging answer.
This isn’t just for Thomas—it’s for every heart that’s searching. The solution is out there, even as we keep running with our problems.
- Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. As stated in John 14:6, He is ready to step into our chaos, problems, relationships, and needs of every kind. Jesus comes into our lives to reveal Himself as the Way, guiding us through every situation. That is why He declared with certainty, "I am the Way."
- Jesus is the Truth—no one comes to the Father except through Him. No philosophy, religion, or self-effort can take His place. He is the door, the path, the bridge, and the connection. This is the most authentic message to the world—not mere theology or theory, but divine intimacy. That’s why He declared, “I am the Truth.”.
- Jesus is the Life. Simon Peter said in John 6:68, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.” This new life, also known as salvation, is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). That’s why He declared, “I am the Life.”
We don’t need to know every detail; we just need to know Jesus. We don’t need to see the full path or all the details; we just need to walk with Jesus. We don’t need to fix everything; we just need to trust Jesus.
The problem is here, but the answer is close, and a breakthrough is coming. His ways are good, though they can be hard to understand at times.
Father God, thank You for giving Jesus as the answer to a world full of challenges. We choose to follow You by valuing obedience over outcome, closeness over seeking clarity, and surrender over gaining control. No matter what, we are glad to walk with You, to have Your way in our lives, to please You, and to be close to You. Lord, help me in my doubts to trust You more, in my weakness to rely on Your strength, in my every cry to find joy, in my lack to find Your abundance, in my needs to experience Your provision, in my fears to rest in Your promises, in my uncertainty to find Your clarity, in my confusion to know Your peace, in my mess to see Your miracle, in my chaos to find Your order, in my worry to discover Your gladness, in my weakness to receive Your grace, in my shallowness to know Your fullness, in my struggles to see Your mercies, in my valleys to witness Your greatness, in every battle to share in Your victories, and in my life to walk in Your Truth and Way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
God Bless Israel, Jerusalem and us!
In His Grip....
