The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Just as the Deity of the Supreme is actualizing by virtue of experiential service, so are the Creator Sons achieving the personal realization of the Paradise-divinity potentials bound up in their unfathomable natures. When on Urantia, Christ Michael once said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."[1] And we believe that in eternity the Michaels are literally destined to be "the way, the truth, and the life,"[2] ever blazing the path for all universe personalities as it leads from supreme divinity through ultimate absonity to eternal deity finality. (21:6.4)
The Master sought to impress upon all teachers of the gospel of the kingdom that their only business was to reveal God to the individual man as his Father—to lead this individual man to become son-conscious; then to present this same man to God as his faith son. Both of these essential revelations are accomplished in Jesus. He became, indeed, " the way, the truth, and the life. "[3] The religion of Jesus was wholly based on the living of his bestowal life on earth. When Jesus departed from this world, he left behind no books, laws, or other forms of human organization affecting the religious life of the individual. (141:7.4)
When Jesus sat down, Thomas arose and said: " Master, we do not know where you are going; so of course we do not know the way. But we will follow you this very night if you will show us the way. "
When Jesus heard Thomas, he answered: " Thomas, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man goes to the Father except through me. All who find the Father, first find me. If you know me, you know the way to the Father. And you do know me, for you have lived with me and you now see me. "[4] (180:3.6-7)
