'Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'
John 14:6 NIV
This bible verse means a lot to me, it is the verse that led to to Christ.
Years ago I was on a train going through London when I saw the words "I am the way and the truth and the life" emblazoned across a building. The words stayed with me and when I had the chance I looked them up........then forgot about them.
A month or so later it was Easter and the film Jesus of Nazerath was on TV, I heard those words again "I am the way and the truth and the life"
I started an Alpha course and I think it's during the first session on the video I heard Nicky Gumbel quoting "I am the way and the truth and the life"
Why did I keep seeing and hearing this, what did it even mean? It was popping up all over the place. It kept hearing it in my head, finding it on my mind.
Anyway, the long and short of it is, that hearing it on that day at the Alpha course made me decide that I would really give Alpha my best shot. That night I went home and started reading the New Testament, I finished reading it the week the Alpha course finished......by which time I was ready to give my life to Christ.
"I am the way and the truth and the life" those words mean so much to me........funny thing is whenever I've been on a train in London since then I've looked out for that building with those special words.....I've never seen it again. Did I imagine it? Has it been removed? Was it there just for me to see? Who knows.......but I do know that those words have changed my life.
