John 14:5-6
(5) Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
(6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Who is living in the way these days, and going Jesus’ way?
Very few, sadly, who are moving forward in The Way, in Jesus’ way, bcos so few have lives that are compatible with the Jesus of the Bible : we could say, “incompatible christianity” with Jesus of Nazareth (Rev.3:16).
We often echo Thomas’ words in our hearts when we’re seeking direction, ..how can we know the way to go? And the Holy Spirit gives us the words of our Lord, I am the way…
The way forward is a Person – – He’s personal, not a formula.
..Without me you can do nothing.. Jesus said. Therefore, with Him, we can do all He wants us to do, as we walk in The Way.

Yes soooo true brother.
I desire to be one who lives in the way of the Scriptural Jesus.
I am better understanding why Yahweh has me alone in the wilderness of the world at this time:
He wants me to be a follower of Him and not in bondage to a religious system.
He wants me to sit at His feet and learn about Him from Him rather than thru the filters and perceptions of other men.
Coming out of it I can praise Him for it all because it kept me from taking root in established religion rather than in Messiah Himself.
I want my life to be a reflection of what living in the way is truly about.
I want my life to look more like the apostles walk in the way than the example we have of today’s churches of the worldly way (a form of Godliness denying the power there of).
I want to thank Yahweh for brothers out there like Ian who are and example, an inspiration, and an encouragement to a life in THE way.
Father, that you would bring my footsteps of this walk on earth closer and closer in line with Your’s as modeled by Jesus, and exampled by Paul, Peter, John, Thomas and the other apostles.

Very edifying Walt.
One thing you’re mentioning is about not being in BONDAGE to men or a system.
Amen. A servant of Jesus Christ has to be free from all in order to truly serve all.
And we must be free from our own self (self-interest) in order that we can be a faithful martyr (witness) of the Lord Jesus : unless a man denies his own self……
The system, on the other hand, promotes self and glorifies flesh.
