MAY 31  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#18  

“But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15)

LIVING FOR JESUS  Daily Prayer    

JESUS, Your Word is Eternal and Your Truth is Unchanging, 

Your Way is Perfect and the Only Path to Eternal Life. 

Lord as we struggle through the “valley” of the shadow of death, 

let us boldly proclaim the Guidance of Your Light 

as a Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path, 

so that we will again come to the Peace 

that only the Prince of Peace can give.     

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus proclaimed Himself to be:  

“[I am] the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) 

and as we are trying to honestly give Jesus Himself an answer 

we must consider what we believe about Him in comparison 

to what He has declared about Himself ——— 

and what His Father has declared about Him!  

This will be another short post today because 

my path has me at a Bible Camp with 3rd - 6th graders — 

short posts were elected over “no posts” because

 this question deserves all the attention we can give it 

because if Jesus is

 “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) 

and we cannot correctly answer 

all the Questions asked us about Jesus, 

then how can we know what is the right 

and true path to take to eternal life?

 There is no more important nor more critical Question 

that God will pose to You other than who you think Jesus is 

— either the Bible is God’s Word and the only Truth 

or we are already doomed to an eternal nothingness 

and our life will have no purpose!

 The lack of purpose is the curse of this generation 

that has more “free time” than any generation before them 

and yet with all this “free time” available to the world, 

the world has used that “free time” to turn to meaningless entertainment 

that has no substance or spiritual value and just adds to the problem

 of us finding purpose and meaning for our lives — 

if you choose to look for the meaning of life in secular philosophies

 then you will find that the answer is simply not there — 

so then you are left with only one option to find the 

“TRUTH” 

and the Bible tells us 

“God is Truth” 

— so then our problem is knowing the difference 

between the gods of this world and the

 One True God of Heaven 

It will be a long, long journey to

 “TRUTH” 

if you try each god this world places before you 

and you make the choice to try “everything but the Bible” —

first you will be eternally lost because the “deceiver”

 has made sure to present you with so many options and distractions 

and yelling at you all along to “ignore the man behind the curtain” 

that you will never see the 

True Light.

 When you finally get around to really reading the Bible, 

you will come to one single 

“TRUTH”, 

“For God so loved the world 

that He gave His only begotten son, 

that whoever believes in Him 

shall not perish but have everlasting life. 

(John 3:16) 

Because that verse points to the 

TRUTH of God,

 the “deceiver” has done everything he can to make fun of the 

GPS (God’s Promise of Salvation) 

verse in God’s Word that points to the only path to the 

“TRUTH of GOD” 

and eternal life. 

The entire Bible is details of how God planned 

and is going to accomplish John 3:16 

but it is your choice to make, 

and once you start down the path, 

you will have to answer that all-important eternal Question 

that Jesus asks you with His still small voice, 

“But who do you say that I am?” 

(Matthew 16:15)
