Day 25

“I am the way.”

John 14:6

Lent provides us with an opportunity to find our way day we use pathways, walkways, motorways, driveways,

and highways whenever we want to go somewhere. Even with these trails as our guides, we can get lost.

Two thousand years ago when Jesus came into our world, he offered himself to a lost humanity as “the way.” Just a few years later, the earliest followers of Jesus began calling themselves “people of the Way.” (See Acts 9:2.) When we follow Jesus, we enter into a lifelong journey in his company.

Lent encourages those of us who feel lost to get our lives back on track. It turns us toward Christ who meets us where we are, offers his life as the way, and invites us to follow.

Daily Practice

Wherever you walk, run, cycle, or drive today, affirm who you are as a follower of Christ: You are a person of the Way. What does it mean for you to walk in Jesus’ company?
