Main Scripture:
John 14:6 (NLT) 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Life can be a confusing and challenging journey, with many twists and turns along the way. We all have moments when we feel lost, unsure of which way to turn. But in those moments, we can take comfort in the promise of Jesus as the only road to life and truth. In John 14:6, Jesus declares Himself to be the way, the truth, and the life, promising to guide us back to the path God has for us. So if you're feeling lost or unsure about your direction in life, know that there is hope and a way forward.
The Way: Jesus is not just one of many paths to God; He is the only way. In a world where there are so many competing voices and ideas, it can be hard to know what to believe or who to follow. But Jesus offers a clear and straightforward path, one that leads us directly to God. As we follow Jesus, He guides us step by step, showing us the way to go and the choices to make.
The Truth: In a world of confusion and uncertainty, Jesus offers us the truth. He is the embodiment of truth, and everything he says and does is grounded in truth. As we follow him, we begin to see the world more clearly and understand our place in it. We can trust that his words and teachings are true, and that they will guide us towards a life of purpose and meaning.
The Life: Finally, Jesus offers us life. Not just any life, but abundant life, a life full of joy, peace, and purpose. As we follow Jesus, we discover the true meaning of life and the fulfilment that comes from walking in step with God's plan for us. We may still face challenges and difficulties, but we do not face them alone. Jesus is with us every step of the way, offering comfort, strength, and hope.
As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it can be easy to lose our way. We may feel lost, confused, or unsure of what to do next. But as followers of Jesus, we have a promise that can guide us back to the right path. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and he offers us a clear and direct path to God.
But following Jesus is not always easy. It requires us to let go of our own desires and plans and to trust him completely. It requires humility and a willingness to admit that we don't have all the answers. But as we surrender our lives to him, we discover a peace and joy that surpasses all understanding.
So if you're feeling lost or unsure about your direction in life, turn to Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and he promises to guide you back to the path God has for you. Spend time in prayer, asking him to reveal his plan for your life and to give you the strength and courage to follow it. Seek out the guidance of other believers and immerse yourself in the Word of God. As you do these things, you will begin to see the path ahead more clearly, and you will discover the joy and fulfilment that come from walking in step with God's plan for your life.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the promise of Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.

Help us to surrender our lives to him completely and to follow him with humility and obedience. Give us the strength and wisdom to make the right choices and to trust in your plan for our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
