68 Reasons Why Jesus is Superior

Roman Road - crystal Ball - 1

Christians are walking the Roman Road together. There are gaps in the road, sometimes holes, grass, and weeds.

Often, we stumble, and sometimes we veer off the road and the stones, but Jesus holds out His hand and waits for us to grab it again. He picks us up when we stumble, brushes us off, and points us in the right direction.

As we step out in faith, placing all our hope and expectations on the promises He has set before us, we can take in the beauty along the way. We see the olive trees, the grapevines, the green grass, the cotton-candy clouds and the bright blue skies. We take it all in and understand that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. We understand that He is the only way … the Superior Way!

The book of Hebrews tells us much about Jesus.
