John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Not everyone is looking for God the Father.
Opportunities to witness Jesus come when others open up to us.
A self checkout clerk at my local store is a very sociable young lady. Helpful and chatty and often takes the time to engage in friendly banter. We have become acquainted and have shared enough to build a level of trust.
Yesterday she used the word truth and I saw an opening and took the opportunity to witness Jesus Christ to her.
I shared with her my definition of truth which opened the door just a crack.
Truth stands alone and is not dependent on our awareness, understanding or intellect.
The door opened wider, she was intrigued.
The conversation came around to trust and my source of truth being dependent on my trust of the one that has proven Himself trustworthy and has never lied to me, even when He had hard truths to share.
The woman caught in sin came up and I pointed out what Jesus did for her. “Where are your accusers?” Jesus didn’t accuse her of her sins, removing her accusers.
That is what Jesus has done for me and why I trust Him.
Truth is a man and His name is Jesus.
Now that she has heard that, perhaps she will begin to ponder the other elements of John 14:6 leading her to God the Father, who she wasn’t looking for before that conversation.
