Re: 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life'

We can parse the words of John ad nauseum and come up with limitless interpretations. We need to look at this verse in light of the rest of the Bible. When this is done we see that Jesus is the Son of God the Father. His substitutionary death and resurrection paid the penalty for our sin and made the only way for us to live eternally with the Father and the Son on the new earth. Appropriating this free gift of His purchased salvation and seeking to live the life he prescribes in Scripture is the only way to the Father. Simplistic, yes. The Bible isn’t hard to understand. It’s just hard to believe, failing faith. God bless y’all. In Him, Woody
