How can we know the way?

"Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" (John 14:5 KJV). God will always make a way. His ways are sure and satisfying. God is the way. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes unto the Father, but by Me, Jesus Christ". This is the way for every man and woman to approach God. First, we must have faith and trust in the ways of Jesus Christ. Thomas could not see the way because it takes faith, not wisdom of man. Man has tried many ways to succeed, to find success, and to fulfill their very desires. Some allow money or perversion to take over their hearts. Man's desires have not really changed at all from the the Old Testament times. Great kings fell when they reached success, or even before they reached success they fell into a trap of confusion. The desires and the cravings of their hearts were on this world, and all they could see is what they assumed would fulfill their cravings. So, they chased after the cravings only to find themselves far from the Truth. Today, there are young people who are chasing after so many other things that are taking them in the wrong direction. It's not only the young people that are doing so. Grown men and women have also put God's desires behind their own personal desires, which only causes spiritual death. Let's all continue to follow Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life that is set before us, so that we may show others to this great Truth. God bless you. Amen
