One Way

  Over the years I have heard so many sermons and teachings based in John 3-16 that it would lead one to believe it is the foundational passage in the whole bible. But recently I have been continually drawn to Jesus's words in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." and while John 3:16 is one of the most foundational teachings in scripture, 14:6 becomes cornerstone.
  In this statement Jesus only gives us two choices of what to think of him. We can regard his words as the most profound statement of all time or the rantings of a madman. We are not even given the option to think of Jesus as a great teacher or at best a prophet.
  So the question for the day: Who do you say he is?
