“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6 NIV
Jesus’ statement is clear and it rings true through eternity. Even though the way may lead through the valley of the shadow of death, it ultimately leads to the truth and life everlasting with the Father.
Jesus has promised a way out through the pain, through the sickness, through the sorrow, and through everything that this evil world throws at us and that way is Him. The road however may lead through the valley of the shadow of death (which is all the pain), but despite being at such tough places, the promise of the Lord remains:
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20b NIV
He promised to be with us through His Holy Spirit that lives in all who believe in Him. The Holy Spirit, which is also called the comforter:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
John 14:16-18 KJV
The Comforter is available for us especially in the difficult times. He gives us strength to go through all situations therefore we can boldly say that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
We are therefore secure in The Way which is Christ and we are sure that with Him on our side, we will reach our destination.
We are not afraid of tough times because we have a tough God. With His rod and His staff, He will comfort us. Whatever enemy that comes against us will not overcome us because we have a good shepherd who leads us all the way to our destination.
Hallelujah.
