The Way.
To find Jesus is to find the Way.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) ... Jesus is the Way of God the Father. When you've found Him, you've found God! And also the way(s) to go about doing things that will bring you lots of pleasurable moments.
Are you like Thomas?
Thomas, a disciple of Jesus Christ, had such a hard time figuring out the Way(Jesus), and many, many, many still do today. There was always a concern in the heart of Thomas, because almost every of his comments were about knowing the Way to God, even thou Christ was always right in front of him. "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" (vs 5)... Plainly, he said on behalf of the other disciples that they didn't know where Christ was going, and so it would be impossible to follow Him.
So, do you now know the Way to follow after Christ? Thomas, like many Christians in the church today, never did get it even after Christ died and resurrected. Before we blame Thomas, DO YOU NOW KNOW THE WAY TO FOLLOW? We assume every one that calls himself a christian knows the Way to follow on daily basis, and how wrong can we be. The enemy would have been totally put under our feet if we all know. Deception would have permanently been dissolved if we all know. We all think we know how Christ went to the Father, but are we following this path? If it's easy to know, why is the world's system in the church?!
Are you asking the right person the right questions? Are you hearing the truth about the Way? The Thomases in our churches today are no different. Deep in their hearts they are asking, "which is the Way?", but are they receiving the right answers? I don't think the right answer is as popular as the question. Thomas kept his mind on the flesh or earthly things, and not on spiritual things. All the words of Jesus he ever heard in the past were interpreted by his flesh and reasoning. He wasn't at all discerning even after hearing the other disciples testimonies of seeing the resurrected Jesus. ""But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." (John 20:24-25)
My question is, where was Thomas when the others were gathered together?
Many christians today are exactly like Thomas. They are asking for physical signs, and are you like them? When you read my posts, how do you interpret them, are you discerning or like Thomas? Where is your heart? with a heart that want to know the Way, the Truth, and the Life of God, Christ Jesus will Himself surely appear to such. You need a change of heart to start SEEing Jesus from today and evermore, otherwise, you can't walk His pathway.
