Week 17- Jesus is the Way
There is no one like You, not anywhere, not anywhen
Fully man
Human
Encounters temptation and experiences death
He walked the Earth as you or I as we walk the Earth
But He was without sin
Defeated death
Fully God
Teaching us
Loving in spite of our faults
Forgiving of each and every failure
Fully Truth
Take up your own cross and follow me
Let he who has ears hear
Lose your life to save it
God is love
Fully Light
Miracle worker, healer, resurrected one
Diner with tax collectors, with disciples
Both are friend, both are loved
Overturner of tables in the temple
Rode in on a donkey, bore a crown of thorns
We are loved
He declared the Holy Spirit alive in us
He is the way
In the wake of the death and resurrection, we reflect on the teachings that Jesus left us with, the basis of how He has instructed us to live. These verses point to simple, but substantial model God asks us to follow. Giving up ourselves for His sake, to recognize the people who need to the love of Jesus the most. As you read these verses, step into the awe of His majesty and sacrifice, but also at the road he has laid before us that might become more like Him every day.
