I am the way,the truht and the life.

I am the way, the truth, and the life › Jn 14, 6. Jesus is the way. He is the perfect Son of his Father, who always did only what the Father told him to do. He did not stick to his ideas about his life’s direction. In doing so, he showed us how we should live. He loved his Father with complete trust. He knew that he was in the Father’s hands and found rest in them; once, when Jesus ascended to heaven, he invited us to live like him – in trust and surrender to our calling from the Father. He will teach, guide, shape, and transform us into His children. He will show us how to rest in his presence, just as Jesus did.

Jesus is the truth. Every word he said was true. When he promised something, it came true. Every miracle he did, and every speech he preached testified to our heavenly Father’s love for us and how we are to live in mutual love with each person according to his will. Everything that Jesus did when he walked the earth, but also everything he does now in and through his Church, is a proclamation of this love. This truth is the essence of all creation – it is the essence of the life of each of us. It is a promise of hope and a future filled with His love.

Jesus is life. To know Jesus means to live fully because he gave us a share in his divine life. Every time we receive the Eucharist, we receive God’s life into our sinful hearts. Imagine it: Jesus wants to live in us. He decided to give us his own life in our hearts so that our life would flow from him. This is a gift beyond measure, a reason for gratitude and joy. He comes to meet our deepest needs and to rejoice with us in every good gift. He comes to teach, fulfill, and accompany us.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. We have everything in it. He gave us much more than just the forgiveness of sins. He gave us a new way of life in union with the heavenly Father. Don’t worry; reach out and grab it today!
