The Way Forward

Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church

April 19th Sermon, Day 5

Moses led the people toward the promised land, but Jesus leads us into eternal life. Moses offered sacrifices, but Jesus became the sacrifice. Moses spoke God's words, but Jesus is the Word made flesh.

The progression is clear - everything was pointing to Jesus, and now everything flows from Jesus. He doesn't just show us the way; He is the way. Following Jesus means more than admiring His teaching - it means surrendering our lives to Him and aligning everything we do with His truth.

This isn't about perfection; it's about direction. It's about listening to His voice, trusting His heart, and following His lead even when the path seems difficult. Moses led people out of Egypt, but Jesus leads us out of sin and into the abundant life God always intended. The question isn't whether we understand everything about following Jesus - the question is whether we're willing to take the next step He's showing us.

Bible Verse

'Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.' - Matthew 7:24
