"I am the Way"

ΜΠ ΛΑΑΥ ΝΗΥ ЄϨΟΥΝ ϢΑ ΠЄΙШΤ ЄΙΜΗΤΙ ЄΒΟΛ ϨΙΤΟΟΤ -- John 14:6, Sahidic Coptic Text

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes in to the Father except through me." (My translation)

Many recognize that Jesus is the Way. Fewer recognize that the Father is the Destination. True Christianity does not stop with Jesus. It does not pause along the Way. True Christianity is oriented toward the Father, Who is the Destination, just as Jesus himself was oriented toward, not himself, but his Father.
