We forget that this earth is NOT how God wants it–but it will be! Our eyes must look to heaven WHERE HE IS!
Proverbs 2:20-22 Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous. [21] For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; [22] but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
Do all paths lead to God? NO! But all paths can lead to Christ:
Hebrews 1:2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
No matter a person’s history and background, when he comes to Christ, he is received as all others are received: through the blood of Jesus, and loved as all others are loved!
Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, [5] made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
The last verse of “Footsteps of Jesus” sums up our walk with Christ:
Then, at last, when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.
Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.
As we gather today to worship our LORD, may we renew our zeal to walk in step with Him until we get to His throne!
