Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life. The way means that he came and showed us a path, a way to live, that leads us to truth and life. He is the truth because he is the actual "reproduction" of God here on earth. He, God, came to show us how to live. Living this way, the truth, brings us life. This brings us life not only in the next life, but in the life we are in right here, right now.
You see that most of us that call ourselves "Christian" look only for Jesus to return and to "save" us from this life. We give little thought that Jesus came to show us how to live this life with principles of truth that will lead us to a happy and fullfilled life NOW! Yes, Jesus died on a cross for our sins so that we could be with God forever. He was our substitution, our lamb, our sacrifice, our payment. However, that death on the cross was also there to show us how to live a life of love, sacrifice, and compassion ourselves. This is what leads to life here on this earth.
Jesus stated this over and over. Paul stated this over and over. Yet we continue to forget that Jesus saying that he is the way, the truth, and the life is not just about the cross and his death, but also about the manner is which we live.
So today, live as Christ would. Forgive those around you. Do not show condemnation or anger, but love and kindness. Think on and see the good in all things and people around you. Be thankful for what is in your life rather than worried about what is not in your life. This will bring you life and joy NOW! This will also bring us to God the Father! We go through the way of living Jesus taught. Then we will find God living and being in our lives NOW! No one comes to the father except through Jesus and his way of love!
