You're Not Stuck

Have you ever felt stuck, like there’s no way out? If so, then I’m here to remind you that there is a way out. Jesus is the Way. He knows how to bring you out. He went through things Himself and came out victorious on the other side.

Jesus knows what it is like to go through bad times. He spent three years discipling and loving Judas, just to be betrayed with a kiss. And another disciple, Peter, denied ever knowing Jesus- just to save his own neck. Others left Jesus and went their own way. The same people He healed and helped later spit in His face, hit Him, put a crown of thorns on His head and then hit His head with a rod to drive the thorns into His flesh. They had Him whipped mercilessly and executed by nailing His hands and feet to a bloody cross. And then, to top it off, they mocked Him as He died a most painful death. Yes, Jesus is very familiar with the heartbreak of betrayal.

It looked really bad for Jesus- after all, He was dead. It doesn’t get any worse than that. He was buried in a borrowed tomb, and He spent three days in hell to pay the price for fallen mankind. But then, God raised Him back to life.

You may ask, “What has this got to do with me and my situation?” Everything. Jesus appeared to be defeated- with no way out. But God brought Jesus up and out. As you believe and receive Jesus, God will bring you up and out. God will deliver you from hopelessness into what Jeus died to give you: abundant life.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 (Amplified Bible Classic Edition, AMPC)

So, my friend, none of us is stuck when Jesus is the Way. The way out of a bad life into a better one is through Jesus as we follow Him.
