A Thought For The Week Of October 28

No Scripture this week. I want to think about some words from a very old and very wonderful hymn: "I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind, but now I see." I don't know about you, but I see a lot of lost people in the world, who just don't see to know where they're going, where they should be going, and they often don't give much thought to where God wants them to go. Aren't we all like that sometimes? Stumbling, groping our way forward, sometimes even fearful - burdened by the past, overwhelmed by the present, apprehensive about the future. A lot of people live every day like that; most of us feel that way at least every now and then. But then comes Jesus - the light of the world; the light of God that no darkness can ever extinguish. And when we trust Jesus, suddenly we don't seem quite so lost anymore. Because, after all, isn't Jesus "the way." And is that anything more than saying that He's the road to follow; the path that will bring us to God. Not Christianity, not the Church; not assent to a particular set of doctrines. Just Jesus, guiding us, and suddenly bringing us into the light, out of the darkness in which we were lost. Jesus. The way. That's what it's all about. Have a great week!
