4. But now we need something more. Look back again to the children of
Israel; when they had marched gloriously through the Red Sea, they had
been saved, redeemed, and delivered; but was that all they required?
No; they had been brought into the wilderness. What now do they need?
They must have a way to go in the pathless desert. They required a
leader. Then Christ is the way and the leader. Are we in difficulties,
in doubt, or in perplexity? Christ is our way. "I am the way, the
truth, and the life" (John x.).
I have heard some say, "Well, if I am converted, and become religious,
I don't know what church I would go to. There are so many different
churches and denominations. I really don't know which is the right
one." Hence some people are bewildered, and do not know which is the
true way. Well, I would say to such, Look only to Him who says,
"I AM THE WAY."
He is the only true way, and if you want to reach the kingdom you have
only to follow Him. We may be in darkness, but He is able to lead us
in the right path. He is the Shepherd of His flock. He will go before
us and lead us. He is calling upon us to arise and follow Him, and He
will lead us by a way we know not; He will guide us to the green
pastures if we only look to Him.
