]]> Comment on John 14:6 - A unique conversation by Steve http://beingekklesia.wordpress.com/2008/04/17/john-146-a-unique-conversation/#comment-1360 Steve Sun, 20 Apr 2008 07:08:36 +0000 http://beingekklesia.wordpress.com/?p=248#comment-1360 Hi Tim - Good post. Sometimes we make "Jesus is the Way" a very "easy" statement; this is a good reflection on how challenging it really is. I think the words from this passage that may be at times divisive (and that perhaps we use wrongly with others) are the next ones - "no man comes to the Father except through me." So easy to use that verse in a simplistic, conversation-ending kind of way: "we're right, you are wrong" - yet it is a pretty exclusive statement. The inclusiveness vs exclusiveness of Jesus (the way, the truth and the life) has been perhaps the biggest tension in my faith, and the way this verse is typically thrown around in the church hasn't helped.

Even in that though, I struggle to think that God's sole purpose can be confined into a short statement or pithy saying. I totally believe God is love but He is so much more than that. I think we try to compact God into something we can grasp - and i don't think we can. His purpose is so much greater and extensive than my purpose is ( even in respects to love. How do we encompass a God that cannot be encompassed? How do we understand a God who has told us He can not be understood? That is what I worry about the most. Maybe not worry, but I wonder a lot about that... Jathan, I think you are right - about God’s purpose and plan - being to love.

Sounds about right! I know it is very important for us to try and fathom God's Ways, but we will never totally grasp all of what God's desire for coming to earth was. So, I really like what you said about not knowing God's Ways, and to start running alongside of God in order to find that out more! It is very important! I will have to think more on these questions and see what kind of conclusion I come to. hmmmmm.... Well, since I just got engaged I might be a little partial, but....actually for me, I think Jesus' purpose was actually very simple...to Love! Sounds like you have been thinking deeply again Tim.
