Jesus is the Destiny and the Way

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Easter Season : Fifth Week : Sunday*

*Gospel : Jn 14:1-12*

*First Reading :  Acts 6:1-7*

*SECOND READING - 1 Pt 2:4-9*

*Jesus is the Destiny and the Way*

*1) Jesus means Saviour*

When we say Jesus is the destiny if our life, we understand that Salvation is the destiny of our life 

It Jesus the saviour who will save us and we will enjoy the salvation in and through Jesus 

So Jesus and salvation could be understood in a similar way. Jesus means salvation and salvation means Jesus 

*2) Jesus is the Way to Salvation*

Since Jesus and salvation is closed connected with each other, there is only one way for salvation, that is Jesus

There is no other way for salvation other than Jesus 

That's why Jesus says *I am the Way*

So there is no difference between the way and Jesus

Jesus does not say that I have a way, but He says *I am the Way*

*3) Jesus and The Way*

Those who are on *The Way* they are already in Jesus and the part of salvation 

Like wise those who are in Jesus they are already on *The Way* which makes a person to enjoy and experience the closeness of Jesus

Jesu' way is available to all. Anyone can try to walk in *The Way* which leads a  person to the right direction and to the right destiny

*4) The Simplification of Jesus The Way*

When we walk on these ways, we walk on *Jesus The Way* which leads to the right destiny

*5) Am I ready to Follow the destiny and The Way*

Jesus is the destiny and The Way to the destiny

One who is with Jesus is on the right track and on the right direction

If So, am I ready to accept *The Way* which leads to that destiny?

Is my way corresponds to *The Way* who is Jesus Himself?

What can I do more to move towards the destiny in the right direction???
