The Way

 

The Way, the Truth, the Life, He is to me

and all the ones whose souls He has set free

by dying for man’s sins on Calvary.

Accepting Him as Savior is the key

to God-led life that’s blessed abundantly,

then home in Heaven for eternity.

  



“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the

life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

                                                                  

John 14:6

BIBLE

 

Blessings AND warnings throughout its pages

Illumination for the wayward or confused mind

Beacon of guiding light throughout the ages

Leads us to be forgiving, helpful, and kind

Edifies when life is good or when chaos rages

1 John 4:14


 

"The Father sent his Son to be

the Savior of the world.”

Our Christian flag at church reminds us

each time it's unfurled.

 

The prophets had long told about

Christ's unique, virgin birth.

He'd give His life upon a cross          

to show what souls are worth.

 

Though enemies would follow Him

in every town He went,

He'd speak the truth to one and all,

this Son the Father sent.

 

Messiah's message to the throngs

was whosoever will

may come, believing, and be saved.

That is the message still.

"Messiah's message to the throngs

was whosoever will

may come, believing, and be saved." That's the good news!
