Problems? Are you confused? Lost?

"Man, born of woman is of few days and full of trouble" (Job 14:1).

These words, spoken thousands of years ago, express the sentiment of many who live today. Now, however, there is a way: Jesus Christ. He said of himself, "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). For all that is truly good, both this life and the afterlife, Jesus Christ is the path.

Following Jesus as "the way" means more than just praising Him with our lips. He said:
"Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46).

"If you abide in My word, you are truly my disciples" (John 8:31).

The life and teaching of Jesus are found in the first four books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Other New Testament books are also the teaching of Jesus, as He revealed it by the Holy Spirit through men like Peter and Paul. Paul wrote:

"If someone is considered a prophet or spiritual, is to recognize the Lord's commandment I write unto you" (1 Corinthians 14:37).

Following Jesus as the way, therefore, requires a careful study of the New Testament and a determined effort to live as it directs.
