John 14:6 -- I am the way, the truth and the life

This is a radical claim!  Is Jesus out of His mind!!!  Many people will say Jesus was a good person but not the Son of God yet with this claim of being the way, truth and life CS Lewis has highlighted that Jesus is either crazy, a liar, or really the Son of God he claims to be but being just a good moral man is not an option

Reading this verse in context we see that in John 14 the disciples were having a hard time understanding Jesus as well.

It seems that real understanding requires the Holy Spirit, and obedience to God and a relationship with Jesus and a sign of this is an inner peace.

John 14 has some other "nuggets of gold"

v12-14 "I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me; you will do the same things that I am doing.  You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father.  Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask.  This way the Son will bring honour to the Father.  I will do whatever you ask me to do"

(This type of power scares me a little because I don't have a full understanding of what is going on with everyone else.  For instance a Salvation Army church wanted to have church outside so they prayed that God would send a storm that was coming their way out to sea.  They were so excited when God answered their prayer they started to share and my friend's Dad heard their story and then shared his.  He was a commander on a ship that day and was at sea and told them he encounter the worse storm he'd ever encounter that day....so I'm with the disciples..."Lord teach us how to pray".   It highlights that we really do need the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit to direct us.)

v 29 "I can't speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. But he has no power over me.  I obey my Father so that everyone in the world might know that I love him"

(This is hard to comprehend because the evil one took Jesus's life and Jesus certainly didn't want to go to the cross yet he chose to obey His Father; even when He didn't want to go through the pain yet by doing this it took the power of the evil one away and ultimately Jesus rose from the dead.)
