Aslammu Alakum, my friends.

In our previous teachings, I shared about the birth and miracles of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. Many prophets prophesied the birth of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. Angels also came and told Hazrat Miriam (PBUH) and others about His birth. Hazrat Isa al-Masih was born of a virgin. He came into the world to save us from our sins through His death on the cross. Did any other prophet have a birth that special? Hazrat Isa al-Masih healed the sick and raised the dead. By His miracles, Hazrat Isa al-Masih showed His love towards sinners. He has such great authority and power that He can forgive sins and perceive our secret thoughts. Can any other prophet work so many miracles? Today, we will focus on the special teaching of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. He said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to God the Father except through me.” 

So, Hazrat Isa al-Masih had a special birth, performed great miracles, and had a great teaching. But these are not the most special things about His life. The most special thing is that Hazrat Isa al-Masih gave His life on a cross for the forgiveness of our sins. He was buried and, three days later, He came back to life. He came out of His grave and ascended to heaven! Now Hazrat Isa al-Masih sits in heaven waiting until the day of judgement.

Today, I want to share more about the teaching of Hazrat Isa al-Masih by sharing a passage with you from the Injeel Shareef. This teaching is from the Sermon on the Mount, one of the most famous teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih.

Please read with me from the Injeel Shareef, Matthew 7:24-27.

24 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 

25 The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. 

26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 

27 The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash.”

This passage teaches us that there are two kinds of responses to the teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. 

First, we read about the wise man. The wise man heard the words of Hazrat Isa al-Masih and acted upon them. In contrast, the foolish man heard the words of Hazrat Isa al-Masih and did not act on them. Both the wise man and foolish man heard the words of Hazrat Isa al-Masih, the only difference was whether they acted on His teachings. Today, you also have a choice when you hear the teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. Will you build your life on His teachings? Or, will you be like the foolish man?

Hazrat Isa al-Masih described the life of the wise man as strong. No matter what difficulties or storms came against the wise man, he could stand because he built his life on Hazrat Isa al-Masih. However, the foolish man could not stand in the difficulties of life. Hazrat Isa al-Masih described the foolish man’s life as a house that fell in a storm. No doubt, storms will come against us in this life. Those storms might be sickness or financial problems or family issues. If we choose to stand upon the teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih, then we can stand in these storms. If we choose not to obey the teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih, then we cannot stand. 

The Sermon on the Mount shows the great authority of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. Please let me share one more verse from the Injeel Shareef, John 14:6, about His authority. Hazrat Isa al-Masih said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to God the Father except through me.” 

Today, if you are looking for a path to God, Hazrat Isa al-Masih is that path. Hazrat Isa al-Masih said that He is the way to God. This means that if we follow Hazrat Isa al-Masih, He will be our guide and provide us access to God. But, we must choose to follow Him by hearing His words and obeying them.

Hazrat Isa al-Masih said that He is the truth. If you want to know the truth, then come to Hazrat Isa al-Masih and hear His teaching. As you follow Him, He will show you the truth.

Hazrat Isa al-Masih said that He is the life. By “life” He means “eternal life”. Today, the grave of Hazrat Isa al-Masih is empty because He was so powerful that He came out of His grave and ascended to heaven. If you want eternal life with God, then hear and obey the teachings of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. 

I hope you have now seen the greatness of Hazrat Isa al-Masih. His birth was more unique that anyone else who has ever lived. His miracles were greater than those of any other. He is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to God except through Him. Today, you have a chance again to follow Hazrat Isa al-Masih. Are you ready to turn from your sins and become His disciple?
