I AM THE WAY.
"Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.”
Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?”
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
"No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
"Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
"Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip?
"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
"The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
"Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14: 1 - 12).

If you understand what it means and apply it to your life, you will be blessed.
Jesus is the Way, the Bridge to Heaven, to Eternal life. Jesus is the Way that is superior to your expert guide. Jesus our Way is incomparable in ability and know how to the best GPS.
In the Bread of life Discourse, Jesus laid out clearly one critical infrastructure of this Way: the Eucharist. Below are other powerful elements of the Way:
#1 Prayer.
#2 Word of God.
#3 Reconciliation
What do you consider to be your greatest need in this moment?
"Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart. And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]." (Proverbs 3: 5 - 6 AMP).
“I am the way and the truth and the life."
