John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
The most piercing, thought-provoking question we can ever ask ourselves is this:
* Who is Jesus to me?
* Who is Christ?
* Whom do I serve?
* What are His attributes, and how do I relate to Him?
Why am I willing to stand firm on this hill, refusing to be moved from my faith despite opposition, shame, or persecution?
Am I serving a trend, an idea, or a piece of history? Or do I truly serve the living Lord? Who is He — to you, and to me?
The Scriptures testify that the truth leading us to eternal salvation is found in the Word of God. Through repentance and through the acceptance of the gift of salvation in Christ, we are ushered into the kingdom of God.
But this road is costly. Those who would serve the Lord must first die to the flesh, and be born again — of water and of Spirit.
And if you are called to preach the gospel — especially in places where opposition is fierce and persecution real — you must settle it deep within your soul before ever uttering a word: Am I ready to lay down my life for the sake of the gospel?
As Paul declared:
“I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. ” (1 Corinthians 15:31)
Yet we do not stand in our own strength. By His grace, we learn the fear of the Lord; and by that same grace, He delivers us from paralyzing fear, granting us reverent love, boldness, and holy confidence.
Therefore, Christ must not be placed at the margins of our lives. He is not to be treated as secondary. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life — and He must be the center, the forefront, the heartbeat of everything. Only then can we follow His lead with unwavering obedience.
We are called to tarry in His Word, to measure ourselves not for condemnation, but to rejoice in the justification secured by His blood. In this partnership with the Holy Spirit, we are shaped, molded, and conformed to the image of Christ.
So let us invite the Spirit of God to search our hearts even now:
to uproot the weeds of unrighteousness,
to unearth hidden burdens, shame, and mistakes,
and to nail them all to the cross where our Savior triumphed once and for all.
The question remains
Who is Jesus to you?
If He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life — then let us walk in that way, proclaim that truth, and live that life until the very end.
