Re-routing:

Finding our way back to Christ.

Hannah Rachel Abraham
Roll No. 44

Psalms 139: 13 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in

my mother’s womb.”

Being of God’s image and born of God’s will, we often fail to be on God’s track.

Unfortunately, many of us ride our life through a wrong path. Finding our way

back to Christ simply means to self-analyze our lives.

On analyzing, we realize our paths. These realizations make a realistic entry

to Christian life. Some ways to re-route to Christ are:

1. Awakening to Help - The most common ministry that Jesus was involved

in his entire life was that of helping others. Helping others doesn’t just mean to

lend money or anything. It also means we help to correct anyone who walks in

the wrong path. Help may have many meanings relating to varying circumstances.
Even if nothing remains, the mind to give out of nothing holds a position in

God’s presence.

2. Awakening to Love – Of the ten commandments given, the greatest one is to
Love our neighbors as ourselves. But have we ever done or realized who our

neighbor is? A neighbor does not simply de²ne the one who stays on the next

door. A neighbor can be anyone who is in need, or lacks anything. We often love

people based on their qualities, race, colour and creed. But loving people no
matter what they are is something that Jesus did and he expects us to do the

same.

3. Confess – Confession of our sins at the feet of Heavenly Father, and
acknowledging that we are sinners is a way to humble ourselves. Realizing that

this life and all in it is just God’s gift, helps us to humble from our “throne” that

rules our lives.

We are all made in the image of God. So our works should reveal God’s image

to others. In this way, our paths will be of God’s will.
