"WATER VAPOR, LIGHT, ------ AND YOUR BACK!!!!!!!
A TRUE STORY THAT HAPPENED TO A DEAR FRIEND---
My dear friend (we will call her "Amy") was going through a very difficult time in her work.
Early one morning as Amy was driving to work, there was a very dark rainstorm in front of
her.
After driving for a while toward that storm, Amy noticed a RAINBOW in front of her, near the storm cloud. She sensed that she was to look BEHIND her. When Amy turned around and looked-----
She saw the sun SHINING BRIGHTLY on her back!!!
Amy sensed that JESUS was saying to her - "Yes, there is a storm ahead of you --- but I'VE GOT YOUR BACK!!!!!!!
JESUS CHRIST --- "..the chastisement (punishment) necessary for our peace was put upon Him, and by His Stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5).
In His being "scourged" JESUS received CRUSHING, FLESH-RIPPING blows upon His back - for OUR PEACE AND OUR HEALING.
The rainbow is a sign of GOD'S PROMISES. (Genesis 9:13-17)
JESUS CHRIST is the "YES" AND "AMEN" for EVERY PROMISE OF GOD!!! (II Corinthians 1:20)
A rainbow is composed of water vapor, light, and THE HOLY, FAITHFUL, INFINITE, INTIMATE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!
Who would choose something so temporary, so ephemeral as "light and water vapor" to bear the weight of HIS PROMISES???
HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! GOD-----Who chose HIS SON JESUS CHRIST ["I am the light" (John 8:12)]...to bear the weight of OUR SINS on His cross....
HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! indeed!!!!!
Let us bow our hearts and WORSHIP the ONE WHO IS WORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!! (Revelation 5:12)

I am...THE WAY!!!...(and the TRUTH...and the LIFE)!!!!!!!
[The Son of God (Yahweh) is JESUS - "THE WAY!!!!!!!
In this, the 6th "I AM" in the book of John,...it is a three-fold announcement.
In saying "I AM the WAY", JESUS is NOT giving the directions from one location to another location.
Instead, He is giving us directions to Father GOD,S HEART, and declaring that HE (JESUS)
is HIMSELF the LIVING PERSON that will take us there!!!!!!!!!!
Again, this is a three-fold Declaration. The last two expressions explain the sense in which
Jesus is "THE WAY"-----to the FATHER:
JESUS is the TRUTH about GOD, and the VERY LIFE OF GOD. As such, He reveals TRUTH to us, and GIVES LIFE to us!!!
John 17:8, 11 -
"Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.'
"Jesus said to Him, 'have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?
"He who has seen ME has seen the father; so how can you say 'show us the Father'?
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in ME?
"The words I speak to you - I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father Who dwells
in Me does the works.
"Believe ME that I am IN the FATHER and the FATHER IN ME, or else believe Me for the sake
of the works themselves."
(Psalm 25:4-10)
"Show me Your Ways, O LORD;
teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your Truth and
teach me,
for You are the GOD OF MY SALVATION;
on YOU I wait all the day."
"Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore He teaches sinners in the way,
"The humble He guides in justice,
and the humble He teaches His way."
"All the paths of the LORD are
mercy and truth,
to such as keep His covenant and
His testimonies."
{Barry's comment: In my experience, when Jesus means something (different from what I understand).....what He means is always 'infinitely superior' to what I understand!!!!!
Please see Ephesians 3:20}
****Please Always ask the Holy Spirit to "guide you into the truth" that He wants you to walk in.
(see John 16:13)***
(Jesus speaking) "The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63)
