‘Couldn’t have said it better myself.
April 28, 2008 by The Ikonographer
Tonight I am teaching my care group about Jesus’ statement in John 14, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”
You could come and hear me speak, or you could just read this:
“Follow thou me. I am the way the truth and the life. Without the way there is no going, without the truth there is no going, without the life there is no living. I am the way which thou must follow, the truth which thou must believe, the life for which thou must hope. I am the inviolable way, the infallible truth, the never-ending life. I am the straightest way, the sovereign truth, true life, life blessed, life uncreated. If thou remain in my way thou shalt know the truth, and the truth shall make thee free, and thou shalt lay hold of eternal life.” (Thomas a Kempis in “The Imitation of Christ” as quoted by F.F. Bruce’s commentary “The Gospel & Epistles of John”)
“The Imitation of Christ” Was this the book written by Thomas Kempis? I have this one in my library.
matt, just to let you know, it is May now. stop living in the past on your blog. turn the page.
This is a stale post, but I can’t think of a better message for a postmodern age.
