There Is A "Saving Way"!

Jesus said, "I am the Way"...what did He mean? Is there a way that works and a way that does not work? And if so, what are those ways?

What are we looking for in life? Isn't it for a way of life that works? It has been said that some people are like blind men searching in a dark room for a black cat, that isn't there! Is this the kind of futile search we are in? Is the "Way", some kind of mysterious chemistry equation that people will someday find in the laboratories? No, but we do believe that the "Way" of God is written into the very nature of the universe. And if we search in the right places, we shall find it.

In chemistry, H2O means water. 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of oxygen will produce water. You can fight with that formula, you can rebel against it, you can try to twist it into something else, but eventually you have to surrender to it. H2O is the "way" of water.

There is also a "way" to fly an airplane, and there is a "not‑the‑way". Pilots must be obedient to this "way" or they will crash. The pilots and the scientists did not invent these laws...they discovered them. There apparently is a "way‑to‑fly" that is built into the universe.

So, what about the way we live? Can we do what we please, and live? Is it merely by chance that we are happy or sad, or good or bad? Can you do anything and get away with it? The answer is a resounding "No"!

Jesus came into the world to "read" the great mysteries of God...to interpret the hieroglyphics of life for us. There was a "Way" that was written into the very foundation of the world. And Jesus could "read" it! We could not do so. We were lost! But, we are not lost anymore. We have been saved! Jesus has saved us, because He has shown us the "Way": the way to love, the way to forgive, the way to die, the way to hope for the future, and the way of peace among people.

One of the great philosophers once said, "two things strike me with awe: the starry heavens above and the moral law within." You see, there is a moral law within us, just as there are physical laws about us. We cannot live by chance. To do so is to be lost! But praise God, Jesus has found us. When we learn to walk in His way, then we have been found. There is no other way. His is the only "way" that works!
