Only One Way. The Choice is Yours

 
      As I read in Mark, and think of the previous blog and Which Way Lord.  I can't help but think of only one thing.  I read Mark 10:52, which says:  'And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.  And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.'  Here's a guy that was blind but had the faith of a child and enough wisdom to put his faith into someone that could change his life.

          I don't know what you've been through or what has brought you to where you are.  But I know we have all been stricken with the complete and all encompassing feeling of overwhelming sin in our lives.  Like a blindness that closes our eyes to what’s important and consumes our every thought.  Of course like any good motivational movie about some sport and winning, it always comes down to the speech.  And in that speech it always comes down to the decision to be made, not how you got there, but where you're gonna go.  Whether you’re actually blind or you are struggling with your everyday life, a sinful habit or action that you just can't break.  It's about who you’re gonna put the faith in and which way you’re gonna go with that faith.

         If you read mark 10:52 again......Go ahead read it.  You'll see that Jesus gives the blind man, now cured of his sin, free will and tells him to go his way.  But with this life changing miracle he is inspired to Go Jesus’ way, therefore making Jesus and his way one, and in turn there is only one way. 

Think of your life before you were saved, you were blind weren't you?  Blind to the fact that you are a sinner and should repent, rely on Jesus and put all hope, sense of responsibility and effort into His will.  Once you were unblinded, you put your faith in Him like the man in Mark 10, healed and shown the light.  God also gave you free will.  The big question is which way did you go?  Did you take your own path or did you follow Jesus in The Way?  Shouldn't that be us all?  Shouldn't we all be giving everything up and following Jesus in The Way? 

All too often life gets in The Way.  Things that we hold dear to us, cars, sports, or careers become The Way and we are once again blinded to the fact that they are not The Way but just in The Way.  I challenge Every Man to self evaluate and look into what might be in The Way and not part of The Way.  I pray daily that I might have my eyes and heart open to God and His Way.  That is also my prayer for you Men.  I know that if we continue to grow and become closer to God that His Will and way will be evident in everything that we do.  And what better way to witness and speak the truth to our non-believer friends, family, and that random person in our life that will be forever changed by your Christian walk.   So as I read Mark and I look at my life I see that there is only one way to live.  And if I don't make my way His Way I will surely fail.
