The only way to heaven; Jesus

​5-8-23
He has Risen! Alleluia!
Today's devotion is based on John 14:5,6: "Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

"I am the way," Jesus said. Notice he didn't say he is "a" way into heaven. He said, "the" way. And that's good news for us; for it means that your way into heaven does not depend on your effort, obedience, works, or even your ability to avoid temptation. It depends entirely on the already-completed and perfect work of the One who died to forgive us and rose again. That is good news.

Please pray with me: Lord Jesus, thank you for gifting me with a future of perfection in heaven that I could never have provided for myself. Amen.
