The TRUTH is NOT ALWAYS in the MIDDLE (part 1)

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

To be mistaken about the truth is to be deceived by definition, and is the foundation of spreading deception. I write to resist the deceiver, deception, and deceiving.

Jesus spoke the words quoted at the top of the page on the night in which Judas Iscariot planned to betray Him, the night in which He would be sentenced to crucifixion. The subject of discussion was where Jesus was going. The purpose of this discussion was the encouragement of the 11 remaining apostles. He told them they knew the way to the place where he was going.

Notice He said, "the way to the place," not "a way to a place." From the beginning He speaks of an exclusive place reached an exclusive way. Key word: exclusive.

If I gave you directions to my apartment in Key West, Florida, depending on where you were coming from, you would approach following those directions differently than someone coming from a different location than you were. For example, if you were at Denny's on Roosevelt Boulevard, and someone else was at Denny's on Duval Street, you both would come to me from opposite directions. You both would be at the same restaurant located at different addresses. You both would be coming to my apartment.

Here is the key. No matter what direction or address you and the other person came from, once you both reach Roosevelt Gardens, you must BOTH come THE EXACT SAME WAY to my apartment.

My address is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE EXPERIENCE of my apartment. No one can come to my apartment except by that address.
