When God's word said Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, it is a solemn reminder that when we choose to come to God, we were once dead, but because we chose the Way, we received His life.
Each day, we are faced with a choice—or the choice. Sin is at our door, but what is your response to it? Our response to the knock on the door determines if we choose life that day.
John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
As a trained linguist, as I look deep into the noun phrase "the way, the truth, and the life," I came to realize that Christ wasn't just giving a speech, but beyond that, He is giving a descriptive introduction of who He is—His entirety, His office, His mark upon us, and everything He represents to us.
Constantly through the Bible, the Holy Spirit inspired the writers to introduce God and His kingdom to man. When we study this, we come to the knowledge—and continually walk in the knowledge—that Christ is "The Everything."
We walk each day consciously knowing that we are not just living the kind of life we want. So when God says, “Talk to that person who said that thing that hurt you,” we forgive—not because we want to, but because we are the people of His Zoe—meaning life, eternal life, divine life, or the God-kind of life.
Our forgiveness, our repentance, our yes, our no, and every alignment isn't tied to the world’s definition or standard, but we live by the standard which Heaven prescribes and await the moment our works will be tested by fire.
Today, choose to say this: "I am a person of His Life."
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and through me.
Stay Revived!
