The Way, Truth, and Life.
By EPSILON
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6. As I meditate upon these precious words of my Redeemer, my hope of eternal life, a voice is borne upon the wings of time from the ages of the past saying: “Thou mayst believe that Jesus is the way, and the truth; but thou mayst not believe that Jesus is the life. Behold thou wast made immortal at thy conception, or else at thy birth. ‘Ye shall not surely die.’ Thou art independent of Jesus in regard to immortality. Can God destroy that immortal soul, the real man, that is within thee? Thou seest man die and return to dust; but ‘Dust thou art’ not, neither ‘unto dust shalt thou return.’ Canst thou have two immortalities? Can there be two infinite spaces? ‘The gift of God is eternal life’ at thy conception, or else at thy birth.” O thou voice borne upon the wings of time from the ages of the past, surely thou art the voice of him whose head shall be bruised by the seed of that woman whom thou didst think to murder. Out of thine own mouth, thou art convicted of falsehood. Thou hast said, “Thou mayst believe that Jesus is the way, and the truth; but thou mayst not believe that Jesus is the life.” Hath Jesus said that he is the life, and yet is not the life? Then how can he be the truth? And if he is not the truth, how can he be the way? EPSILON.
