There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, But its end is the way of death.
Proverbs:25 AMP
If I can't really trust my own heart, what is the way that leads to life?
The way that leads to life is found not in an idea or an ideology, not in a way of life or a set of behaviours, not in religion, a set of rules, being good enough, doing enough, giving or even serving others.
No, the way that leads to life may contain or give insight into all those things, but it is found in a person.
Jesus said I am
the Way
the Truth
the Life
He is that person.
He became the way that leads to life, because he chose to love us.
To love without measure.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
