One-Way Travel

Mr. Bill loves to take us home from the beach through Tate's Hell. This lonely Franklin County, Florida road travels along a swamp where a man [named Tate] was lost for about two weeks. Along this route, there are no stores, no houses, and no cell signal. Seems Tate was on to something!

 

God's Word is clear about the only way to Himself.  If you listen to the world, there's enough routes to produce an atlas!  One popular idea is as long as we're all moving in the same destination, God doesn't care which route we take. John 14:6 doesn’t dance around!  "Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." What part of this can we possibly misunderstand?  The Way is not a lonely journey; Christ promised a Companion and Helper: "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever ... the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things ..." (14:16, 26).  Before we drive through Tate's Hell, we make sure we have plenty of gas-snacks-drinks, everyone has been to the restroom, and no one needs to use their cell phone. God doesn’t expect us to travel His One-Way unassisted; He has given us the Holy Spirit Who is all we need for the struggles, frustrations, grief, and sorrow for life’s travels. God planned this One-Way Travel perfectly!
