"I Am The Way" John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to 
the Father except through me." John 14:6

In today's Bible passage, Jesus tells us that He IS 'The Way' to reach God, the 
Father. There are no shortcuts to reaching God. For Christians, there really is 
no other way to reach God in all His glory, but through Jesus Christ. Biblically,
we are not only called to trust and believe in God, we are also called to follow
His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ--and to try our best to love and emulate Him, 
despite all our own personal imperfections. Thus, Jesus is The Way, the absolute 
Truth, and The Life we should strive to live.

Throughout the Old & New Testament of the Bible, we learn of the coming Messiah--
Who He is, and what He will do for mankind for the sake of Salvation of the world. 
John 3:16 >>>"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so 
that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life!" 

By Jesus' example, we are shown how to live, in practical ways, in and through Him,
by always striving to put God first, and loving others with all our strength, to 
the best of our ability. Forgiving the unforgivable. Reaching out to feed and help 
the poor, and praying for those in most need...Even, and especially our foes.

For the Bible says >>> Matthew 5:10-12 "Blessed are you when they insult you and 
persecute you, and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of Me
[Jesus]. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven..."
