The Way
Jesus is the road from back there to right here with the Father.
Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie puede llegar hasta el Padre si no es por mí.
— Juan 14:6
— Juan 14:6
I can get too familiar with familiar language. For a long time, I read this verse, in English, as: if I follow the ways of Jesus, I can be admitted into the Father's presence. That sounds like earning. Reading this in Spanish, and hearing Jesus say, "I am the road...," hit me differently. The focus is on Jesus' work, not my works. This is reconciliation.
