"You will show me the path to life,
abounding joy in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever." (Psalm 16: 11)
Path of life, pathway of life is the only Way of life. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The way of life which Jesus Christ reveals to us is the Way of the Cross. If there is any other superior way of life, Jesus Christ who is supreme Wisdom and Truth would have revealed this to us.
The only way He revealed is the true way, a great paradox. By dying, we live. By losing all we have for the sake of Christ, we gain everything. Humility is up and pride is down. Poverty of spirit is praised, foolish dependence on wealth is ridiculed.
Everybody's path to life is different. For some, there is more physical suffering. For others, the suffering will be mental or spiritual. Although the path to life is different for everybody, the result is the same although in different degrees for everyone:
"Abounding joy in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever."
