John 14:6-11
Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
Luke 18:19
Only God is Good
19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
The Greatest Teacher to ever live and teach on earth taught about God, love, truth, goodness, and forgiveness...Some might say that His teachings were less than remarkable...
As I read the gospels, I find His teachings maybe simple in the sense of the way He went around teaching them, but at the same time I find His teachings quite remarkable, yet not as remarkable as His claims of who is...One of His claims is that He is the Truth the Way, and the Life...And then follows that statement with the claim that He is the Only Way to God...Then He says to His Disciple Philip, that if you have seen Him, then you have seen God...And He quickly adds that He is in God and God is in Him...God resides in Jesus, living in Him and helping Him do His teachings and work...
Saying that if you have seen Him, then you have seen God, is quite a remarkable claim...And if Jesus is the Only Way to God, then He must be Good...What else could He be, but Good?...He said that Only God is Good...And He does not deny He is not Good...And if He is God in the flesh, then He is Good, too...
