Throughout our journey, we have opportunities to gain lessons from the Word and from each other. From the beginning, the Word was with God and Jesus is the incarnation of the Word. The perfect example of the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Reading today 1 John 1:1-4, we note that Apostle John wrote this letter so that we have joy (v. 4). Documented in this letter is what John heard and saw as he walked with Jesus.

John gives evidence for the certainty of his presentation in the life of Jeus who lived out the Word among us on earth. Believing in the incarnation of Jesus is important to counteract false teaching that denied that Jesus is the Son of God who lived among us on earth.

Jesus laid out the path to go and we can follow the Way. We know what direction to go in the decisions we make. Jesus obtained perfection and by following, we may not be perfect, but we can obtain excellence by following the Way to glory.

Thank You Lord for providing the Way to glory. Your guidelines for living in the Word help us to meet adversity with confidence and lead us into a future where we need to be. Your Truth provides liberty and victory as we step ahead on the path towards fullness of life. Amen.
