Who is Jesus?

"Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me." (John 14:5.6, Amp)

This weekend has been long set aside to remember and ultimately celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. As you know, I am a man who likes to keep theology simple. So my faith is based upon who Jesus said He is, rather than depending upon scholars to interpret His words for me. Those words, lifted from the pen of the Apostle John (the Revelator), are in part a quote and a quagmire. If we look at Jesus only from a natural and pragmatic point of view, we could conclude that he was just a man, teacher, a prophet, or an all around 'good guy.' But if we look deeper, and look with spiritual insight, we too can see the persuasive power of the spiritual truth that He has presented for our consideration.

For us to find and fulfill our purpose on earth, Jesus gave clear instructions--if you don't know where you are going, "I AM THE WAY." Jesus didn't say, "I will show you the way," or "I'll give you a map, or input the 'way' on my GPS." Jesus is the way. Living a life dedicated to faith in Him is the only path to the life abundance that Jesus has promised to give those who believe in Him. Our problem is that we become our own road blocks, and pot holes, which prevent us from progressing. We all too often get stuck in our own hang-ups, too troubled to remind ourselves of who Jesus is. It was His humility and humiliation, His battered body, and His shed blood that by His sacrifice, we too can know the way of Jesus.
