The Way of Jesus
"I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (Jesus Christ, John 14:6)
I was struck today by a statement I heard today from Benedict XVI: "The way of Jesus is the right way to be human."
There is a lot of power packed in that short statement. In his book, The Jesus Way, Eugene Peterson argues that we've emphasized the truth and life of Jesus, but not so much the way of Jesus.
As we pray, meditate, and worship our way through this Passion week, what does the way of Jesus look like? What does it look like for each of us in our respective lives to flesh out that way?
If the way of Jesus is the right way to be human, what are the wrong ways we are told are the right ways? How does the Jesus Way contradict the world way, the flesh way, the sin way, and so forth?
Let's talk about it.
