Can you imagine trying to navigate this little corner of Terra Firma?  Looks impossible, but, hey, people will surprise you sometimes.  However, in "normal" life things can go awry quickly.  Marriages, Jobs, Children, Parents, and countless other things can "screw things up".  In the midst of a world that lately has seemingly gone crazy, Jesus offers hope; hope in the form of himself.  But, lets let him do the talking.

John, Chapter 14

 6  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

The "way" in Greek means road or path.  The truth is absolute, as is the Life.  There is one and only one (notice the "the") means of escape from being lost in a world full of sin- Jesus.  He alone will give you permanent answers and guidance to successfully navigate our sojourn here.  Honestly, sometimes I get discouraged and want to give up, but even at those "worst of times", I know that there is really a way out and it is in the person and work of the anointed of God- Jesus!!! Somehow, when I look at this picture, I am reminded of the soap-opera whose introduction goes something like "like sand though the hourglass, so are the days of our lives".  Although there was a lot of intrigue and excitement with this soap, it never really did give you the answers you need to navigate the pitfalls of life.  Jesus does and will continue to do so.  He didn't say: the way, the truth and the life for nothing- its true.

PS.  In case you are wondering about the title- It does NOT mean "Global Position System".  Rather, it means: God's Pointing Son.  In the first two words that Jesus speaks, he is literally saying- I, myself am.  It is as if he reached away from himself and deliberately pointed himself out to us!!! Nice way to get directions!!!
