MEMORISE: 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
BIBLE READING: John 14:1-6
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
MESSAGE:
Several religions claim that they have the best means to access God; however, the Bible establishes that Jesus Christ is the only way to reach God the Father. This is the truth, as today’s memory verse confirms that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
When a person surrenders his or her heart to Jesus completely, the person will realise that it is very easy to speak the truth rather than tell lies. When such a person tells a lie, the fellow might not feel at peace until he or she speaks the truth.
My dear child, if you have made telling lies a habit, I want to plead with you to surrender your life completely to Jesus today, so that He will show you a way to stop doing so. You also need to yield to the Holy Spirit more because He will convict you when you tell a lie.
Furthermore, when Jesus lives in you, you will find it difficult to live a ‘fake life’, whether on social media or among your peers. God values truth, honesty, and integrity. He is pleased when His children live truthfully, but He separates Himself from anyone who lives otherwise. Be truthful in all your endeavours.
ACTION POINT:
