Following Jesus

 

A path through different rooms or a hallway.

 FOLLOWING JESUS: He'll Make a Way

HE'LL MAKE A WAY RIGHT ON TIME How many knows that to be true?  Thank God for his mercy and his love…for perseverance that he has taught us through his word.  He will make a way when it seems like everything else is telling you, “No you can’t make it”.  He made a way…a way from earth to heaven.

BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING...pressing into this path that the Lord has allowed for us to have.  The bible says, James 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,…(you don’t err in the truth you err from the truth) and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. KJV.

How about that today? Aren’t you glad Jesus Christ allowed that blood that was sang about?  Aren’t you thankful that the Lord allowed that blood to wash away the sins in your life…to clean you up and make you a vessel of honor...allowed you to have a robe of righteous…a white robe?  Praise his name. It means something to be able to say that you’re on the King’s highway.  Doesn’t it? 

SCRIPTURE FOLLOWING JESUS  Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. KJV

The Lord has a pathway for us to travel.   Jesus said, I am the way.  I am the truth.  I am the life.  If you want the life today, you’ve got to find the truth.  If you want the truth, you’ve got to find the way.  And, that way is Jesus Christ. Can we give the Lord some praise? Come on...let’s praise him today.

WHO IS JESUS  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV The only way to get to where God is at is through the Saviour, Jesus Christ. And, the Lord made a way for you to do that. 

WHY WAS JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED When he gave his life at the cross of Calvary.  He persevered…think about it…before he ever got to that cross, he was beaten unrecognizable. They mocked him. They lied on him saying that “he is a sinner”…all kinds of ways that they tried to put Christ down. But God had a plan and that plan was for you to make it to heaven.

Jesus was beaten and mocked. What a day!

BELOVED OF THE LORD I’ve quoted it quite often here, 2nd Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: KJV.

Today the word of God goes forth.  I’m thankful for the word that the Lord left on record for us to go by and the spirit that he left here to reckon with it, and he called it the Spirit of truth.  Aren’t you thankful for that?  Jesus said, “It is expedient for you that I go away – if I go away I’ll pray the Father”. Think about that for just a second.

IS GOD AND JESUS CHRIST THE SAME PERSON  Jesus knows each and every one of us, and he calls us by name to the Father.  Every need that you have, you bring it to Jesus, and you tell him what your petition is.  He in turn goes to the Father, and he says, “So and so needs this touch”…this is what we need today. He is an intercessor for us.  Hallelujah to the Lamb of Glory!  Don’t you love him?  Yes.

I am the way, the truth and the life. There is only one way from earth to heaven.  Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; KJV

BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST  You see, it’s not everybody that even proclaims Jesus Christ or the name of Jesus Christ that’s going to heaven.  You say, “That sounds awfully harsh”. 

Let me tell you what Jesus Christ told them: John 6:53 Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. KJV

Those people who were standing there could only imagine taking a bite off Jesus’ arm and drinking his blood.  They didn’t understand what Jesus was trying to tell them.  There were many turned and walked with them no more. Jesus turned to his disciples and said, “Will ye also go away?  I love what Peter had to say here...he said, “Lord, to whom shall we go?  thou hast the words"…the wordsthe words

If I could drive that home to you.  You want to know why it's important for you to come out to the House of the Lord? For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you.

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST If you get on God’s highway, you’ll have to hear his word. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word.  How many believe that God is God? You truly believe that he is God…he’s the man who made the universe.  He’s the one who spoke light into existence.    

You want to talk about an all-powerful God? Every need that you have, he will supply.  God has given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

 If we have anything today, we received it from someone. People say, “I work hard for what I’ve got”.…have you forgotten who gave you the strength to get up in the morning and say, “Lord, I’m going to work for you”.  Lord, I thank you.  

We used to hear the ole men of God say, “If you can move your “little pinky” (finger) that’s enough evidence that there is a God”.  

I believe in him.  How about you?  Why is that so important…if I could take you back to the garden for just a minute.  In Genesis…(to learn the rest of the service, click on the YouTube video below):
