—John 14:6
Just think: That little article 'the'? Without it, John 14:6 contains nothing significant.
But with that 'the'? Way, Truth, and Life takes on a completely different meaning.
Today, though, I am pondering on the 'is'.
We find oxygen in the stirrings of our hearts. When you engage in an act that breeds passion deep inside, like painting your thoughts or cooking a meal for someone dear. We catch a breath of fresh air, right there. Aah... Sadly, exceptional are the moments when your heart is arrested by a little girl's smile or the tug of a jazz song from that cafe by the corner. You stop to breathe? Or do you not stop enough?

Perhaps you're one of the millions who hyperventilate through life. Barely getting enough air. We easily recognize how suffocating it feels to imagine a 'the' life, but we can't deny it IS THE best way to live. How do we walk in the Way, embrace the Truth, and live the Life with every breath? When we acknowledge Christ's claim, we have placed our lives in His hands once and for all. There is no more normal life, no more making the mundane from day to day.
Why is Jesus 'the' ___ ? It's not:
Going to church = the Way.
Reading the bible = the Truth.
Doing good works = the Life.
Jesus is a person. He's THE One.
Him being Him makes you a BEloved.
Not just what he does/did/will do, it's who he is. That's what rocks your world.
He IS the Way.
He IS the Truth.
He IS the Life.
In who He is, you breathe.
You breathe in who He is :)
He is the Way. Follow Him through the Land of Unlikeness; You will see rare beasts, and have unique adventures.May there be fresh air for you today, dear friends. And if you catch me blue in the face, remind me to inhale.
He is the Truth. See Him in the Kingdom of Anxiety; You will come to a great city that has expected your return for years.
He is Life. Love Him in the World of the Flesh; And at your marriage all of its occasions shall dance for joy.
