(J.R. Miller, “Evening Thoughts” 1907)
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way” John 14:5-6
This new year we are setting out on a journey of which we can have no knowledge in advance. The road is one on which we never have gone hitherto. We know not what any day will have for us . . .
what our duties will be,
or burdens shall be laid upon us,
what sorrows we shall have to endure,
or battles we shall have to fight.
We cannot see one step before us! How can we know the way?
As we sit in the quiet and ask the question, we hear an answer which is full of comfort. Jesus says to us, “I am the way!”
All we shall have to do, therefore, will be to follow in His steps
. Jesus has made a way through this dark world for us and has gone over all the journey and opened a road for us at great cost. He went over the way Himself — we shall find His shoe-prints at every step.
He has a definite way for each one of us. Every mile of the journey He has chosen — and every place where I pitch my tent He has selected for me!
“Leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps!” 1 Peter 2:21
