Everyone born undertakes a journey. However you slice and dice it, the journey called life can be divided into only two types. A journey that leads to destruction or a journey that leads to life, for eternity.
By default, we are on cruise control towards destruction. When we accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior, we hop on the journey that leads to life. Others continue on the journey to destruction.
For discussion this morning are two questions:
1. What role does Jesus play in our journey?
For some "Christians" Jesus is nothing more than mere travel insurance. The journey then becomes a set of do's and don't's making it all the more cumbersome. They are prone to dismiss it as difficult or impossible half way thru' and hop on the high way to destruction.
For true believers, however, Jesus is the GPS (Global Positioning System). He shows us the way. He leads us and guides us. During our times of trouble or waywardness, He takes us back on the journey to life. He is our constant companion. He is the ever-present help. Amen!
In the Scriptures, we read,
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

In the Scriptures, we read,
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
The second question is:
2. What role do we as individuals play in our journey?
True, salvation is God's gift to us.
Once saved, however, we are called to do good works for God.
As God's handiwork, we are expected to do good works.
Tomorrow we will see what are these good works that are expected of us...
For now, have a blessed day!
