Rising above the sound and the fury, the words of jesus greet our ears like the echo of a tune we have not heard, like news from a country we have never visited: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Jesus says this as the author of all truth and our only real hope. For Jesus not only makes sense of our lives, he himself is the source of all life. And he gives life freely to those who look to him.
