March 16 LD 11, Day 5: The
by Rev Allen Brummel
John 14:6b I am the way,
the truth, and the life:
Every other way and every
other voice in this world leads to death.
The devil and the wicked
world are seeking to draw us down the path that leads to destruction. The
way of the devil and the way of Jesus Christ stand in sharp antithesis of one
another. This sharp distinction will be seen most fully during the time
of the antichrist. He will not permit anyone to be honored except
himself. He will insist that he is the only way to prosperity, happiness
and salvation. The antichrist will try to force us to submit to him with
violence, boycotts, imprisonment, and terrible persecution.
Jesus Christ comes simply
to us with a clear command- Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28) By the power of His
Spirit in our hearts, we respond by faith and we come to Him who alone is able
to lift our burdens and give us peace. The fact that we believe Jesus to
be the only way of salvation must be evident in our lives. Today, you
must be a witness of the power of Jesus Christ by living your life in quiet
submission to Him. He ordains all things. He is working all things
for good to those who love Him.
We do not merely confess
that Jesus is Savior, but we show by our walk who we
are! We are followers of Jesus! Let people see what Jesus has done
for you and how important He is to you. Show that you are a different
person and that with Jesus, salvation is certain and the joy is eternal.
