JESUS IS THE WAY BEYOND

With Jesus, we aren’t left guessing as to the way beyond. There is a way beyond, and Jesus came to reveal it- to light up the path for all people- and He can do so because He comes from a world beyond. He came down and lived for a while among us. And while He was here He revealed God to us. He showed us the way beyond.

His light brings life! The ancients in the apostle John’s day believed that air, water, food, and light were all necessary to sustain life. Well, in the Gospel of John, Jesus is all four of these things! He gives the “Breath of Life” in John 3 (John 3:8; 20:22). He is the “Water of Life” in John 4 (John 4:10, 13-14). He is the “Bread of Life” in John 6 (John 6:35). And here in John 1:5, He is the “Light of Life”.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5)

Even a tiny flame will dispel the darkness. In the same way, the truth always wins out in the end, and Jesus is that truth. He overcomes the darkness of deceit. He conquers the lies of men and demons.

And Jesus shows us the way beyond this life to our eternal home. He has gone ahead to prepare a place for each of us (John 14:2), and He lights your path the whole way there. And He wants you to show the people in your life this path.

Ask Yourself:

-Who in my life is looking for a way beyond?

Pause to Pray: Jesus, eternal life is found in you alone. May the hope of my life be beyond this world so that my life and my faith are magnetic- drawing people to You. Amen.

Take a Next Step:

- Get the conversation started! Try this with someone you’ve been praying for:

“What if the universe isn’t impersonal? What if there is a Creator?”
“Which parts of life feel like you’re living in the dark?”
“What do you say to someone who has just lost a loved one?”

-In your journal, brainstorm your own conversation starters! How will you help draw people to Jesus as the Way Beyond?
