“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6
When we are on the path to eternal life, we must follow it with great care, as it is narrow. We must struggle daily as it is hard, but it is a path that leads somewhere. It is a path with mileposts along the way, to show us our progress. It is a path that has an end, which is eternal life. We cannot walk that path to its end, unless we have a guide, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and in His Church.
When we begin walking on this path, we are individuals with many selfish interests. Then the Holy Spirit starts to work on us, slowly changing us into the image of Christ, establishing us to be eligible for placement into His Body. If we endure and finish the course, we will have died to ourselves, to our individual lives, to our selfish desires, and will be ready to become a part of the Body of Christ, which is the Church.
We can then say, along with the apostle Paul, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me…” (Galatians 2:20). This will be the only way to truth and life eternal!
The 114th Assembly is upon us and our new theme will be The Way, The Truth, The Life!! (No Compromise!!) I am looking forward to seeing what directions God has for his people regarding this new theme. Let us continue to have True Worship while Standing on this Sure Foundation. Hope to see you at the General Assembly!!
