As we sit with Jesus’ words about being the way, the truth, and the life, we’re invited to wrestle with both the boldness and the beauty of that claim. This teaching encourages us to move beyond a transactional view of faith and into a daily, lived relationship with a God who is near.

As the story unfolds, this message invites us into humility, curiosity, and trust, reminding us that true sight often begins when we admit we don’t see clearly yet and allow Jesus to lead us forward.
