Luke 2:44
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.”
ὁδός
Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.

To come, to go, to arrive. Erchomai. Come Lord Jesus. The final prayer of Scripture is an invitation. The church lives in expectation of His return.
