双语灵修 （葛培理牧师）：1月2日 唯一道路

1月2日

唯一道路

“耶稣说：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不借着我，没有人能到父那里去。”
约翰福音14:6

当我返回一个大城市的酒店时，司机在一个应该右拐的地方左拐了，结果多花了不少时间才到达目的地。他得停下来查看地图。

在人生中，有时候一个错误的决定（哪怕是失误），就会带来我们不想要的后果。更可悲的是，我们很难回头。

古话说：条条大路通罗马。如果在去罗马的路上迷失方向，你不必太担心，还有很多的选择。但是，不是条条大路通天国。有一个障碍，使人无法接近上帝。这个障碍，就是罪。

然而好消息是：上帝赐给了我们一个交通指南-圣经。祂还赐给了我们一个完美的向导-耶稣基督。

耶稣说，若不借着他，没有人能到父那里去。耶稣不仅给了我们人生的方向，他也指导我们每天按照神的心意而活。显然，我们每天都需要向导或指南，否则我们就会迷失。请记住，耶稣没有说：我是道路之一。他说：“我就是道路”。让我们紧跟耶稣，永不迷失。

今日祷告：

天父，祢赐下祢的独生爱子耶稣基督。祂是通向祢的唯一道路。感谢祢，因着祂我们罪得赦免。
祈求祢带领我们跟随耶稣的脚踪，也求祢帮助我们带领他人来到祢的面前，奉耶稣基督的圣名，阿们。

LOST AND FOUND
I am the way,and the truth,and the life;no one comes to the Father,but by me.John 14:6 RSV
Recently,while returning to my hotel in a major city,the driver turned left when he should have turned right,and it took him awhile to figure out how to get to our destination.He had to stop and check his road map.
After in life just one wrong turn,just one wrong decision can take us where we do not want to go or,more importantly,can keep us from going where we do want to go.
There is an ancient saying that“all roads lead to Rome.”When one is lost on a road to Rome or anywhere else,all that is needed to find the way is a good road map or directions from someone who knows the way.
Not all roads lead to God,as some suggest.There is a roadblock which keeps man from reaching God,no matter what road he takes.That roadblock is sin.But God has provided a map-the Bible-and He has provided One who knows the way and can give directions-Jesus Christ.
Christ said,“No man comes to the Father but by me.”Not only does Christ give directions to the Father through Himself,He also gives us daily directions as to His Father’s will for our lives.Like directions from a map or a person in our travels,we can follow them and get to our desired destinations,or we can ignore them and become lost.
Remember,Jesus did not say,“I am one of the ways,or one of the roads you can take to get to the Father.”What He said was,“I am the way.”Determine to follow Christ and never be lost!
Pray for the Day:
Father,You have given us Jesus,and He is the only Way to You.And we are so thankful that there is a Way and that we can be forgiven for our sins.And we pray that you will lead us down that path to follow Jesus,and help us to point that Way to others as well;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
