I AM | Pt 5 | ’I am the Way the Truth and the Life’

In the book of John, Jesus made 7 'I AM' statements. 

• I am the bread of heaven
• I am the light of the world
• I am the gate
• I am the good shepherd
• I am the way, the truth, and the life
• I am the true vine
• I am the resurrection

These statements tell us so much about Jesus, the Christ - the messiah, the reconciler, the healer, the guide, the example, the goal, the horizon. But they also teach us about who we are meant to be. 

Although the book of John is a theologically complex and rich text, the insights and wonderings are some of the most profound in Scripture.

'I am the way the truth and the life.'

This passage is a popular one. It has often be used as evidence of the exclusiveness of the Christian faith. But what if we looked at this passage differently? Is it possible to hold two interpretations at the same time and find a path forward? Could this way of seeing things help us in other areas of our life?
