Last week I wrote that there are four highroads a Christian must travel. The first is the Damascus Road - the Road of Spiritual Awakening. Travel on that road transforms life, thoughts, attitudes, action.
The second road is the Jerusalem Road, a road of commitment. Jesus traveled it to death on a cross. Things that matter most are what we put our life into and what kind of life we put in. That's the test of commitment.
The third highroad on which we travel is the Jericho Road. (Luke 10:25-37). This is the road of service. Travel on this road requires patience and active promotion of justice in our neighborhood and around the world.
The fourth highroad is the Emmaus Road. (Luke 24:13-35). We need to know about Christ as we read our New Testament. Then, we need to walk with him in daily communion. Prayer and meditation sustains our fellowship with Christ and influences the whole of our life by the gift of grace.
This is the road which the Apostle Paul describes as being "spiritually minded which is life and peace."
Peace,
Richard
