Seek Jesus

Jesus is my only hope. He is the way of life. He is the way of love.

Where else can I go? If I seek the ways of the world — fame, money, education, admiration — I may for a season be satisfied. I may enjoy the fruits of my labors, the accolades of man, the sense of accomplishment. There is not necessarily anything wrong with any of that. I believe God created us with a desire for those things. I believe God created us to enjoy those things.

And yet, they’re fleeting. They last a season, or even a lifetime, but in the end, they are only for this life.

If I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, if I believe He conquered death, if I believe He’s gone to prepare a place for me (John 14:3), then that’s my end goal: to attain to eternal life.

The ways of the world are exactly that. They are for this world. They’re fine for this world, but they’re not the end goal.

They can’t overshadow or replace the end goal. They can’t be the primary goal. They can’t be my first love.

Only Jesus is preparing my eternal home. Only Jesus takes me there. Nothing from this world comes with me. Only Jesus comes with me.

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus. He is the way of life. He is the way of love.

So He is what I seek. The rest takes care of itself. He’ll give me what I need in this world. And He’ll get me through it and into the next. He’ll direct my steps through this world. And He’ll prepare me for the next. He’ll rejoice with me through all He calls me to in this world. And He’ll mourn with me through its pains.

And no matter what, it’s Him I’ll seek. He is my only hope — His life, His love, His ways.

Where else can I go?
