According to a recent national polling service, 65 percent of Americans feel that our country is headed in the wrong direction. When asked what they think should be done to get America on the right track again, the answers are myriad and numbered.
Many individuals feel their personal life is headed in the wrong direction. They have an innate sense that things are not “right,” and they will try almost anything to make things better. Jesus’ 12 disciples probably had feelings like this when they agreed to follow Him. His words to those 12 speak to each of us today when it comes to how to put our life “on the right track.” In Matthew 6:33, He tells His disciples, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
The answer to putting our life “on the right track” is to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ. His whole life on earth was to connect with mankind who were fatally flawed and separated from God because of sin. Jesus came to earth to share that life-giving invitation to all who would receive Him and to once and for all pay our sin-debt by shedding His blood on the cross. He did what we could never do in order to give us what we can never lose, if only we will accept Him as Savior.
Jesus said, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). Not only is Jesus the “Way” of life, but He also is the source of all truth. He leads and directs us throughout our life in the way that provides purpose, meaning and fulfillment. Not only does He make our life “right,” but He gives us a “newness” of life. We don’t have to go through life trying to find what is impossible without Jesus. He loves us, directs us and even provides for us. He really is what we have been looking for all along.
