I am the way, the truth, the... | Day 10

Day 10 of the #ScriptureChallenge - John 14:6

This is one of those verses that for some reason when I read it, I always have to say it once in my mind before I can say it out loud. –because I want to say ‘I am the way, the truth and the LIGHT.’ Yet in some ways mistaking ‘light’ in this verse, is rather symbolic.

What I mean is that when I have an issue in my life, I look up THE TRUTH, it shows me THE WAY and it brings freedom or renewed LIFE. –In other words, having an issue in my life, is kind of like a light shined on a place that I can get more Jesus in, bringing me that much closer to God himself.

Although when I explain the verse that way, it refers to the counsel that I receive from God now, while I am here on earth. While I learn much from reading about the life of Jesus, he is not just a high moral character that came in flesh and walked the streets here, but he is also part of the trinity – Divinity. God himself.

This full verse says that "NO ONE comes to the Father except THROUGH me." –which means that it doesn’t matter how kind we are, what good deeds we do, how we ‘pay it forward’. It doesn’t matter what level of ‘success’ we attain, or how much time we spend in a pew, or how much faith we have in our Pastor to deliver a good message- It is your direct relationship to (and through) Jesus alone that will get you to our Heavenly Father. –And in all the profoundness that you and I might see through the Word (which was God - John 1:1), or the character of Jesus (also God - John 10:30), or in the counsel of the Holy Spirit (again God - John 14:16-17), there is more… (Job 26:14)

Do you and I receive the FULLNESS of the Christ offered? –The fullness of who and what HE IS? Do we submit to ALL of God and not just the parts that we understand? (Revelations 22:13, Isaiah 33:22, Psalm 139:7, Psalm 95:6)
