(Reworked for today from 2011)
SCRIPTURE: 1Timothy (NIV) 2:4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men…
OBSERVATION: I remember as a very young boy, our family lived in Texas where my dad attended College. In the summers we would stay with my grandparents in Kansas where my dad helped with the farm work. I remember being awakened one night by Uncle Urban who had driven out to let us know that the Arkansas River was flooding and would soon be at our door. We had to leave in a hurry. I remember the long drive as we followed my uncle to his home. He knew which bridges were already underwater and which roads would lead to crossable bridges. We trusted him and followed him readily. He was our way out of trouble. He was the only one who had come from a place of safety and knew the way to take us with him back to that place of safety.
APPLICATION: Having a great desire to escape the judgment coming on sin, I am so glad that Jesus came from a place of safety and made the necessary sacrifice to provide me peace with God. He not only knows the way to heaven, He is the way—the only way! Sometimes I look for short-cuts, but He knows the best places to cross the rivers.
PRAYER: Lord, You are the only one who came to where I am from where I want to be. You are the only one who knows the way to heaven! You are the way! I place my life in your hands and I trust you. Amen.
