This week’s sermon reflects on Jesus’ words, “I am the way,” spoken during a time of uncertainty and fear as he prepared his disciples for life after his death. Rooted in the context of Passover and the Exodus story, the message explores how Jesus presented himself not simply as a teacher pointing toward a path, but as the embodiment of the way of God — a way marked by compassion, love, humility, justice, and service.
Drawing from the Gospel of John, the sermon highlights how Jesus invited his followers to live according to his example: caring for the vulnerable, building community, responding to conflict with love, and seeking transformation in the world around them. The reflection also considers how early followers of Jesus were known as “the people of the way,” challenging us today to ask how we continue to follow Christ’s example in a divided and conflict-filled world.
As we seek to live out God’s love through our actions, may we continue to follow Jesus — our guide, our example, and our way.
