I am...THE WAY!!!...(and the TRUTH...and the LIFE)!!!!!!!

[The Son of God (Yahweh) is  JESUS - "THE WAY!!!!!!!

In this, the 6th "I AM" in the book of John,...it is a three-fold announcement.

In saying "I AM the WAY", JESUS is NOT giving the directions from one location to another location.

Instead, He is giving us directions to Father GOD,S HEART, and declaring that HE (JESUS)
is HIMSELF the LIVING PERSON that will take us there!!!!!!!!!!

Again, this is a three-fold Declaration.  The last two expressions explain the sense in which
 Jesus is "THE WAY"-----to the FATHER:

JESUS is the TRUTH about GOD, and the VERY LIFE OF GOD.  As such, He reveals TRUTH to us, and GIVES LIFE to us!!! 

John 17:8, 11 -
"Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.'

"Jesus said to Him, 'have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?
"He who has seen ME has seen the father; so how can you say 'show us the Father'?
"Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in ME? 

"The words I speak to you - I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father Who dwells
in Me does the works.

"Believe ME that I am IN the FATHER and the FATHER IN ME, or else believe Me for the sake
of the works themselves."

(Psalm 25:4-10)
"Show me Your Ways, O LORD;
teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your Truth and
teach me,
for You are the GOD OF MY SALVATION;
 on YOU I wait all the day."

"Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore He teaches sinners in the way,

"The humble He guides in justice,
and the humble He teaches His way."

"All the paths of the LORD are
mercy and truth,
to such as keep His covenant and
His testimonies."

{Barry's comment: In my experience, when Jesus means something (different from what I understand).....what He means is always 'infinitely superior' to what I understand!!!!!
Please see Ephesians 3:20}

****Please Always ask the Holy Spirit to "guide you into the truth" that He wants you to walk in.
        (see John 16:13)***

(Jesus speaking) "The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John  6:63)
