During the Christmas season, whether you have a Christmas tree in your home or not, reflect upon Calvary’s tree (Acts 13:29), where Jesus willingly went to bear our sins so that we might live to righteousness (1 Peter 2:24).
If you are not a Christian, please consider the free gift of salvation is available to all, so that whoever believes in Christ Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
Jesus said in John 14:6:, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". Notice that Jesus does not say he will show you the way. He says, "I am the way!"
In Matthew 7:13, Jesus also spoke of a narrow road and a wide road. Many walk on that wide road, which in the end is the way of death.
God's peace fills your heart when you walk in the way of Christ. Jesus said to His followers, John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives". God's peace is a gift available to each of us.
When you walk in the way of Christ, you experience an inner peace--tremendous quiet in your heart. The broken pieces in your life are put together again.
The way of life is also the way of purity. The Bible says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God" (Matthew 5:8).
The way of life in Christ is also the way of love. Jesus said in John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another," . The Bible adds in 1 John 3:14:, "We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers".
Today, the word love has been robbed of meaning. It's used to describe a person exploiting the emotions of another for his own satisfaction and selfishness. But that is not love. True love wants the very best for someone no matter what it may cost us.
The way of life is also the way of obedience. The way of the Christian is to serve only one master--Jesus. The Bible describes Him as "Lord of lords and King of kings" (Revelation 17:14). The Christian lives as though this is true. Jesus becomes your Lord, your Master, your King. What He says goes.
The servant of a king waits for the slightest hint of a command, then rushes to obey. A soldier following the leadership of a great commander willingly obeys every order.
Receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, repent, pray, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, study the King James Bible, and take the yoke of Jesus upon you.
