Reflections on Bible versesRomans 8:38-39
For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Holding On to the Christ Life is unpredictable. We can be happy one day and sad the next, healthy one day and sick the next, rich one day and poor the next, alive one day and dead the next. So who is there to hold on to? Who is there to feel secure with? Who is there to trust at all times? Only Jesus, the Christ. He is our Lord, our shepherd, our rock, our stronghold, our refuge, our brother, our guide, and our friend. He came from God to be with us. He died for us, he was raised from the dead to open for us the way to God, and he is seated at God's right hand to welcome us home. With Paul, we must be certain that "neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nothing already in existence and nothing still to come, nor any power, nor the heights nor the depths, nor any created thing whatever, will be able to come between us and the love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:38-39). (Henri Nouwen)  Jesus the Way to the Father
John 14:5-6 Thomas said to him, Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me. The Lord Jesus ChristWhen he said "I am the Way" he was claiming that only he could lead man to God. When he said "I am the Truth" he was claiming universal and exclusive rights on the ability to reveal God to man. When he said "I am the Life" he was claiming to be that quality of existence sacrified for and sought by men and gods. He also claimed a supernatural birth, an impossible death, and a miraculous resurrection. His claims mean that he is either utterly insane, undeniably evil, or uniquely everything he claims to be!
