The Way, the Truth, the Life

Overthe last couple of weeks, I’ve tried to commit these Bible verses to memory –Proverbs 19:21, Romans 12:12, and Matthew 11:28. They are in my head for now,but I think I will have to keep refreshing that old mind of mine.

Here’sanother verse many of us are familiar with:

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth,and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you hadreally known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know himand have seen him!” (John 14:6-7, New Living Translation)

Iincluded verse 7, not to memorize, but because I read through this entirechapter of John 14 and thought it contained some good stuff. Okay. I know – theentire Bible contains lots of good stuff. But this Wednesday we begin Lent andevery Sunday in Lent, I’ve tried to write a series of blog posts around onetheme. This year it will be this chapter from the book of John.
