What Jesus Did! 'The Way Home' — John 14:4-7

Sunday, September 23, 2018

"You know the way to the place where I am going."
Thomas said, "Lord, we don't know where you are going. So how can we know the way?"
Jesus answered, "I am the way. I am the truth and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. If you really knew me, then you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him."
— John 14:4-7 NLT
Illustration of John 14:4-7 NLT — "I am the way. I am the truth and the life. The only way to the Father is through me. If you really knew me, then you would know my Father too. But now you know the Father. You have seen him."

Key Thought

I sometimes give way too many instructions when giving directions. So today, I want to keep it clear and simple. Want to know the way home to God? It's Jesus!

Today's Prayer

Father, please be with your people so that we will passionately share our hope in Jesus so others can be assured of finding their Way home to you! In Jesus' name. Amen.
