Follow Me Into Truth – Shannon Cocker

Jesus is not a way. He is the way.Jesus is not one possible interpretation of truth among many. He is truth itself.Jesus does not merely offer a better version of life. Life in its fullness is found in Him.“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6 (NIV)Notice how He does not simply say, “I know the truth.” His offer is not, “I will explain the truth,” or even, “I will show you the truth.” He says, “I am the truth.”Truth, then, is not merely an idea to understand. Truth has a name. Truth can be known. Truth can be followed.That’s the essence of following Jesus. His invitation to “follow me” is also an invitation to follow Him into truth.
