The Way

Yesterday, while visiting over coffee, in front of the fake fire at Tim Hortons, my friend and I were approached by an elderly man, wanting to know the way from there to Port Colbourne. He had been turned around by construction, stopped for a breather (and maybe the bathroom), and now didn't know how to continue on his journey. It wasn't hard to give him directions. We knew the way back to the highway, and the way to his destination. He left us, thankful.

Sometimes, finding our way with the larger questions of life is much more difficult. When Jesus is asked by his disciples, how they are supposed to get to where ever it is that he is going, his answer just seems to add to the confusion and maybe even controversy.

"I am the way....." says Jesus "No one comes to the Father except through me"

To our post-modern culture, Jesus' answer is offensive. For some Christians, his answer has been misunderstood and has become a source of arrogance and pride.

What does Jesus mean when he says he is the way? How does one come to the Father through Jesus?

Join us this Sunday we look at Jesus words to realize the promise, hope, and challenge found in them.
