John 14:6-7 (ESV)
6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
I mentioned yesterday I used this passage of scripture in a recent celebration of life service. I shared that Jesus had gone away after calming the disciples minds and hearts to build our mansion. He is doing that as we await His return.
I was reading a reference to this passage which stated this is a both a positive and negative promise in the verse. Jesus laid out what would happen by choosing either direction – eternal heaven or eternal hell. Once we die our choice has been made. I encouraged people at this celebration of life to find Jesus by seeking Him or contacting me to discuss how they can.
People who do not know Jesus only go through the motions of life; Jesus came to give us abundant life. We may be a nice person but without a relationship we will not spend our lives with Jesus but we will spend eternity elsewhere.
In order to spend eternity in heaven we must be certain we know Him. Recognize our sin, repent, ask to be forgiven, thank Him for what He did on the cross and make Him Lord of your life. We do that by putting Him first.
Jesus is the “way, the truth, and the life.”
God Bless.
