"Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way…" John 14:6
God has given us a Way, embodied in the actual personality of his Son, Jesus Christ. His personality becomes our Guide, our Standard, and our Interpreter of Life.
Jesus is not the Way merely in the sense of His being our example and model, but He is our Guide, not outside of us conducting us along the road He traveled, but He is within us showing us our way.
The trouble with the Jewish Law was that it was a fixed code of regulations. It has no elasticity in it. It was limited and confined to the traditions of men.
There was no inward personal guidance that enabled a person to carry themselves rightly in many situations that arose in their life. Romans 8:3 tells us, "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh."
When Jesus indwells us with his Holy Spirit, He becomes our inward personal Guide. He is more than the law. He is grace and light. Jesus is not only a light to show us the way, but gives us light and power to travel in the way. The Psalmist penned it well in Psalm 119:105, when he said, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
"Buddah could point his disciples to a way and say, "Walk ye in it." Socrates could tell his pupils of a truth and say, "Cleave ye to it." But Jesus, the One who was dead and is alive forevermore, and who stands above all earthly guides and teachers, is able to pour His own life into the spirits of foolish and selfish men, and say, "I am the Way."
Be Blessed!
