We have an actual flesh and blood man that has walked the way of perfect obedience to God, in Whom He stated that He was well pleased with. He has shown us the way, and path to holiness, as a pioneer, scout, captain, Prince, forerunner, and Captain of our salvation. As, He told Thomas that He was the way, The Truth and The Life. He's the only way to God, be ye holy for I am holy. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.
