Section 15
the Lord has brought us into Himself. By being in Him we are also in the Father because He is in the Father. Where He is, there we are also. This was made possible through the Lord's death and resurrection. Before His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus was in the Father, but the disci ples were not. After His death and resurrection all the disciples got into the Father, just as the Lord was and is in the Father. At that time the Lord could say, "Where I am you also may be."
"THE WAY" BEING THE SON HIMSELF
The way for us to get into God is the Lord Himself. Since the way is a living Person, so the place to which the Lord brings us must also be a living Person, God the Father Himself. The Lord Himself is the living way to bring man into God the Father, the living place. Like us, the disciples thought that both the place and the way were places, not persons. Notwithstanding, the Lord said to them, "I am the way" (v. 6).
"THE REALITY" BECOMING THE WAY
In verse 6 the Lord Jesus also said that He was the reality. The way needs the reality. Unless the Lord is your reality, He can never be your way. Reality becomes the way.
