Speaker: Bobby McDonald Title: Choose The Path Where Jesus Is Date: May 31, 2020 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that Christians must intentionally follow the narrow path of discipleship, which is the way that leads to life and is characterized by God's will. This path, modeled after Jesus' teachings, offers rest and peace, much like power-steering assists in driving. When we seek God's will and walk in it, He guides us, making the journey restful rather than a struggle against our own efforts.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

What are the ancient paths of Jeremiah 6:16?The speaker reads Jeremiah 6:16, pointing out the call to stand, look, and ask for the ancient paths where the good way lies to find rest.Jeremiah 6:16

Entering through the narrow gateReferring to Matthew 7, the speaker explains that while many paths lead to destruction, the narrow way leads to life and represents true discipleship.Matthew 7:13

Finding the one path where Jesus isOut of many potential options that follow our own will, only one path carries God's will and is the place where Jesus is found.

Jesus and the path of restJesus quotes and fulfills the promise of rest in Matthew 11, placing Himself directly on that ancient path of life and fellowship.

Carrying the yoke with JesusWalking on the narrow path means being under Jesus' yoke, where He helps carry the burden and makes the journey restful.

The power-steering analogyJust as power-steering makes maneuvering an old car effortless, God helps us steer and move smoothly when we choose His path instead of straining in our own power.

Waiting for God's confirmationSharing a personal story about a faulty item, the speaker illustrates the danger of rushing ahead of God and the peace that comes when the Lord confirms the right time to act.

Staying on the path with JesusComparing God's guidance to a safe crosswalk at a busy intersection, the speaker concludes that staying on the narrow way with Jesus is where true rest remains.
