“The Life” Bringing The Reality

"THE LIFE" BRINGING THE REALITY

The reality needs the life. The Lord Himself is the life to us. This life brings us the reality, and the reality becomes the way for us to enter into the Father. Firstly, Christ is our life. Then this life brings us all the reality of the Godhead. Eventu ally, this reality of the Godhead is the way for us to get into the Father. When the Lord is life to us, then we have reality. When the Lord is our reality, then we have the way for us to get into the Father.

For many years I did not understand why the Lord put the way first, the truth or reality sec ond, and the life last. Finally I understood the meaning of the order. If the Lord is going to be our way, He must be our reality, and if He is going to be our reality, He must be our life. By having Him as life, we have Him as our reality, and by having Him as our reality, we have Him as our way into the Father. The Lord Himself is the way, this way is the reality, and the reality is in the life.

In verse 6 the Lord did not say, "No one comes to heaven but by Me." No, He said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." The Lord's intention is not to bring us into heaven but into God, into the Father. The Lord is not

the way to bring the believers into heaven but to bring them into the Father.

"TO THE FATHER"

The Father, the living Person, is the destina tion, and the Son, the living Person, is the way. Neither the way nor the destination is a place. The way is the Son and the destination is the Father. Through the Son we get into the Father. Both the way and the destination are living Per sons. Through the Son's death and resurrection we have all come into the Father. Now the Son is in the Father, and we also are in the Father because we are in the Son.
