It’s All About Jesus
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6
Almost everyone loves celebrating a birthday or anniversary. For Haven, this Jubilee year of the Anchor Devotional is cause to celebrate the faithfulness of God. Anchor turns 50 this month, and the consistent message of Haven for more than 90 years remains: “The Way to God the Father is Through the Son.” Or as we’d later refine it, “It’s All About Jesus.”
The divine significance of this teaching is found in Luke 24, which opens on the day Jesus rose from the grave. In three scenes—the empty tomb, the road to Emmaus, and the upper room—Jesus appears and teaches that every part of Scripture points to Him. He is the source of our redemption and life and hope and strength.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” Paul testifies in Philippians 4:13. As an aging emeritus, I am learning how true this is. It’s not about being able to literally do anything and everything. Rather, it’s about having the power to persevere and live in God’s will through this new stage of my life. It still is and always will be all about Jesus.
FAVORITE ALL-ABOUT-JESUS VERSE by Charles Morris, Haven’s President and radio voice from 1999-2023. He and his wife Janet now live near family in Eugene, Oregon. They begin each day together with Jesus, in prayer and in the Word.
