Christian Faith Perspectives

INTRODUCTION

Christian Faith Perspectives are based on my personal life experiences as a believer in Jesus Christ, whom I received as a teenager.
When using Biblical passages for reference the New International Version of the Bible is used and abbreviated, NIV.
My life as a Christian has included careers in Local Government Administration, Church Pastoral work and in recent years self employment as a Sales Agent.
The intention of my posts is to highlight what I see as important aspects of living life as a Christian. The goal is that they might inspire and motivate others in living their own fulfilled lives in the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. JESUS IS THE PATHWAY
It is interesting that one designation of early Christians was that they were followers. of the Way. They were in fact followers of Jesus who said of himself,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
This pathway is unique for it has no darkness; it is characterised by light. So if we follow him we will not walk in darkness. He, Jesus is the light of the world and he has that ability to dispel darkness.
I recall a late afternoon river fishing trip, accessed only by a bush track. As nightfall approached we packed up our gear to return home…. in a 1925 T Model Ford!! You guessed it, we had not travelled too far and it broke down. We were now stranded in the dark, on a track we could barely see, and with thick bush all around. My unease at the time as a young boy was only placated by an adult companion who was able to guide us out to the main road.
