February 1 | Christ Is The Gift of Life
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”John 14.6

Reading: John 14

Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure from this earth.  It would not be long until Jesus would make His way to the cross to die, be raised on the third day and ascend to heaven.  The news of Jesus leaving caused the hearts of His disciples to be troubled.  Jesus tells them there is a way for your hearts to not be troubled.  A heart at rest is found in believing in God, the Father and in Jesus.  Jesus wants His disciples to be assured that even though they are disturbed now at what is about to happen, they can find rest later and have a home with Jesus one day.  Believe Jesus is the way, for there is no other way to have a relationship with God.  Believe Jesus is the truth and the only truth that prevails. Believe Jesus is the life, both now and forever.

Prayer:  Lord, You are the way, the truth and the life.  I can only know God, the Father through You, Jesus.  Let this truth be what my heart finds hope and rest in.  This world is hard with ups and downs, but I turn to You as my remedy.  I cast my anxieties and worries upon You today.
