In times of uncertainty, we often find ourselves asking, “How can we know the way?” This question, posed by Thomas in the Gospels, resonates with many of us as we navigate life’s challenges. At Lakeview Christian Church of Portage Lakes, we are committed to “Be the change as Jesus has changed us” through “Just 3” — Study, Share, Serve. Let’s explore how Jesus provides direction as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Study: Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Thomas’s question in John 14:5-6 leads to one of the most profound statements in the Bible. Jesus responds, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This declaration affirms that Jesus is the ultimate source of direction, truth, and life.
Studying this passage helps us understand that Jesus is not just a guide but the very path to God. He embodies truth and offers eternal life to those who follow Him. By engaging with scripture, we gain clarity and confidence in our journey of faith.
Share: Guiding Others to the Truth
Sharing the truth of Jesus as the way to the Father is a vital part of our mission as believers. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 calls us to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded.
At Lakeview Christian Church, we are passionate about sharing the message of Jesus with others. Whether it’s through personal conversations, community events, or outreach programs, we strive to guide others to the truth found in Christ. By sharing our faith, we invite others to experience the hope and direction that Jesus offers.
Serve: Living a Life Guided by Jesus
Living a life guided by Jesus involves serving others with love and humility. Colossians 3:23-24 encourages us to work with all our hearts, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. When we serve, we reflect the character of Christ and demonstrate our commitment to following Him.
Lakeview Christian Church provides numerous opportunities to serve within the church and the broader community. Whether it’s volunteering in children’s ministry, participating in local service projects, or supporting global missions, these acts of service allow us to live out our faith in meaningful ways. By serving others, we embody the love and truth of Jesus.
Conclusion:
Finding direction in Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life is essential for navigating life’s uncertainties. By studying scripture, sharing the truth of Jesus, and serving others, we align ourselves with His purpose and mission. This reflects the mission of Lakeview Christian Church to “Be the change as Jesus has changed us” through “Just 3” — Study, Share, Serve. Let us commit to following Jesus and guiding others to the hope and direction found in Him.
