When Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He was doing more than just showing us the way to go. He quite literally giving us the way.
When given the two options of where to spend eternity, Kenny Chensey was right... everybody wants to go to heaven. But what if "going to heaven" wasn't the point. What is at the end of the Way?
If you have ever gotten lost, the first step to getting back on the path is knowing where you are at. I think this is why God asks Adam and Eve (after they sinned) "Where are you?"

Often our fears dictate who we will share the Good News with. But in Acts 9, we meet a man to sets aside his fear as he follows God to bring one man to the One and Only.

Sharing the Good News is not just knowing the right scriptures, and having the right answers... It's about having the right heart, a heart that has been pierced.
The book of Galatians is full of encouragement and warnings. At the beginning, Paul warns his readers not to settle for anything other than the Gospel of Christ... That's some good news for us to remember as we start a new year.
