1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ~ John 1:1-5
Although Jesus came to His own people, His people did not recognize Him or accept Him. They were probably looking for a warrior king, and Jesus did not fit that expectation. He came to die for the lost. To pay the penalty so that we might have the power to live victorious lives. Jesus successfully completed His purpose on earth, so God rewarded Him with the name above all names, with great majesty and glory. Jesus fulfilled His purpose; now it’s our turn.
So, often we think that all we have to do is believe, and life will become easy, but life is hard, and the road is so narrow many miss it completely. Believing, having faith, that’s just the key to finding the road. Now, you actually have to walk it. You now have to follow in the steps of Jesus and be the light in this dark world. You have to now fulfill your God-given purpose, no matter how hard it may seem or how lonely the walk may look. Unless we follow our call and obey the voice of our Heavenly Father, we can’t be the light in the darkness. If we can’t be the light in the darkness, then there’s no reward for us. If there’s no reward for us, then there’s only punishment awaiting us in the next life.
We don’t serve God and follow Jesus because it’s easy or because it’ll give us fame and fortune. We follow the LORD because He is the only path to Eternal Life. He’s the only path to freedom. He’s the only path to a new hope that is greater than anything we could ever think or imagine. That’s why we follow Jesus because He is the Light shining through us in this dark and lost world.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Find More Than The Key To The Narrow Road.
