Back To God

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  John 14:6

Some persons will read the gospels of Jesus and see the New Testament as a way to get away from God and His Old Testament. However, in one of the great verses, in my little opinion, of the gospel of John comes this claim by Jesus that He is the way to God. There are others as well, such as our Lord's ascension where He goes to His Father, and the Revelation where John sees God on His throne and then the Lamb of God. And of course we cannot ignore in the New Testament the army of quotations by all of the writers and Jesus Himself of Old Testament verses. No, seeking the good news of Jesus to get away from His Father just doesn't make sense to the one who believes in the Christ. Now using the New Testament to see Jesus and come back to God, that seems like a plan. And then we can read all the wonderful promises in the Old Testament that Jesus has fulfilled and will continue to fulfill! 

Finding God in Jesus is like finding a pastry where the filling exceeds the delightfulness of the frosting.
