6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
I love this verse. I know it's the easy one.....but, it's so perfect! It speaks volumes. I think we gloss over it sometimes. But, in looking at the first sentence, it blows my mind. "I am the way." We as Christians believe that. "I am the truth." Everything I say is real. I know the answers to the questions you aren't smart enough to ask. I am everything you want to be inside, but can't. I am the pattern. I am the example. "I am the life." Happiness, satisfaction, and the path to light goes through me.
Holy Bananas! That's strong stuff. When the Son of God describes himself. Its something we should study and give it's due thought.

Exactly He is the only way! so---

I'm struggling to connect the dots, but as I analyze and give this deep thought I think he is saying if I love him I should obey him and do the commands he has taught.
complicated stuff ;)
