Jesus' Crossroads: His Life

Last week we saw that life is full of crossroads— places where we have the choice to follow the path that leads to the cross (God’s way) or the one that leads away from it. Sometimes the choice is easy, but other times, doing what is right is really difficult. We must remember to make the most of the opportunity because it may be what points another person to Jesus.

Ephesians 5:16 | Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.

When we struggle at the crossroads, it can be helpful to think back to the examples set by Jesus. After all, He is no stranger to the crossroads— He was there many times as flesh dwelling here on Earth.
