Jesus My True North [Wednesday, #194]

We are challenged to compromise our walk with God every day. That’s what spiritual warfare is all about.

It’s not the major compromises that do us in. We can usually resist the urge to steal, kill or hurl insults.

But how about the subtle compromises? We share a prayer request about someone but it’s really gossip; bend the truth but refuse to call it a lie; and justify our anger towards a family member to avoid apologizing. 

Jesus dealt with the heart when it came to transgressions. He didn’t let people off the hook. Today, we'll look at what he said.

KEY PASSAGE:

John 14:1-7

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

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. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well.
