Jesus – our way

One sometimes finds oneself at a crossroads in a situation where one does not know which way to go next to get to the right destination. So it is in the spiritual life. One finds oneself at a crossroads and asks: what to do next? Decision-making is complicated, especially when one realizes how much unnecessary journey and effort he has already undertaken. Only because he did not think, did not give advice, wanted to experience something, and so on. Perhaps even today, at this moment, we find ourselves at a crossroads, looking for the right path to come to true happiness, which would resolve our doubts and answer the most important questions of life. It is not easy. We are often caught up in helplessness, and even if we go the right way, we must not take risks.

Jesus also wants to intervene in our lives. He utters interesting words about himself: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me “(Jn 14: 6).

On our journeys in life, we often hear, but we also state that there must be someone who created all this; he controls, that is, God. Many people believe in God in this way. However, we know more about this – thanks to the teachings that Jesus Christ taught us. He also invited us on this journey to God-Creator. He who became the Savior for us. Thus, his actions become a directional sign for us, an indicator that he wants us to come to the goal with a guaranteed and successful goal. Therefore, we understand his teaching as a guide and at the same time as an open gate that leads to God the Father. All you have to do is step in and follow in his footsteps.
We realize that our salvation, eternal happiness, meeting the Father is our goal. How well our lives go when we have a clear goal! But how difficult life is when one lives in uncertainty. But what if there really is “what” I deny? I don’t want to admit what I resist and avoid in my life ?!

We are often compared to pilgrims who walk towards eternity. When we live in connection with God, we do not have to be afraid, even if we cannot eliminate anxiety. However, we receive the words of the Lord Jesus, which become a reinforcement for us: “Let not your heart be excited.

But we ask, in what sense did Christ actually become our way to this eternal abode? He tells us this: “… and believe in me too … I am the way, the truth …” (Jn 14: 1-6). Christ is then our way when he gives us the truths we are to believe, and it gives us principles, commandments to live our way of life, and many of these commands seem difficult for us.
We know that living the gospel is challenging and requires a lot from the man. However, behind all this, we see not only the difficulties we have to overcome, but we also see the reward in eternity. Therefore, he who looks at eternity in this way, Christ, will not say that it is difficult because he desires something valuable that this difficulty guarantees. Many leave the way because of hardship, but those who truly believe in Christ are advancing. Many are taught to us in good and evil. Many went only for tinsel. We see many tragedies, human calamities, debris … Many don’t even know why they don’t believe. They keep repeating something that logically disagrees, or they want to replace God at all costs with something that will calm their questions at the time. How long? And how?

Human paths are sometimes easy. Strangely, sin can turn a new sin pink. Sin multiplies sin. And happiness, joy, contentment recedes, disappears, and disappears. But Jesus says, “Whoever wants to follow me, let him take up his cross and follow me” (Matt. 16:24). And elsewhere, he adds, “My yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.” (Mt 11:30).
However, one must accept this, decide for it and not just wait for another to do it for him, or that he can only choose cream and better …. We realize that we have a lot of resources that can help us pass life journey victorious. However, it is necessary to pay more attention to them and implement them in your life.

Let’s often think about our way of life. What is our journey? What is most annoying about our journey on it? Why are we so inattentive, superficial, indifferent on our journey? Let’s ask Jesus to be our guide to the right life.
