John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Beloved,
You need Jesus in your life because there is nothing important anyone can be in life outside of Jesus. You don’t need Jesus to “make it” in life as it were because there are many “successful” people out there, but to make it into eternal life while still relevant on this side of eternity, you need Jesus.
You need Jesus in your life to live a life that will go beyond you, a life that will affect generations that come after you. This is not about religion; I am talking about the life that God has made available for us. Our text says Jesus is the way, the Bible didn’t say he is one of the ways. Jesus is not one of the religious leaders or an activist of His time, no; He is to be the Savior and Lord of our lives.
Living a life without Jesus is living a life without Life. At a point in time, you must come to terms with the fact that Jesus is the Savior of your life, and He is the Lord of your life. You need Him first to be your Savior, it means He saved you from your sins and He ensures that you get to heaven. But to be the Lord of your life means He is going to help your life to fulfill destiny on this side of eternity on to the other side.
For some people, Jesus is the Savior but not the Lord of their lives and because of this, Jesus cannot influence their decisions. Beloved, what it means for Jesus to be your Savior and Lord is that as a child of God, He begins to influence your decisions to choose rightly in any matter of concern.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you BLESSED. I call you NATIONS.
