Rev Abraham Cho

John 14:4-6
4You know the way to the place where I am going."
5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."

The Way, Truth, and Life is found in the person of Jesus Christ.

WAY TO THE PLACE
--We don't have all the information.
--It's not about our own effort.
--If it were through achievement, then it would exclude the weak--which can lead to moral superiority.
--Should everyone be saved?  Does that mean God doesn't care about justice by tolerating oppression and violence.
--Because the way to God is through Jesus, then that is the way to Justice.

TRUTH
--It's  a person.
--Getting to know someone requires self disclosure and revelation.
--Mode of inquiry to get to know God must shift accordingly.
--At the very least, you should read the Bible.

LIFE
--Life we want is in Jesus Christ.
--Relationships are crucial to happiness.
--Life moves fast and the moments of love fly by.
