Beloved, God has called us to go the second mile. The first mile is where everbody is. The second mile is going to require a press, stamina, and what the Lord has said. The first mile is a eye for a eye, tooth for a tooth...the second mile is love your enemies. The first mile - The only way to God is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6)...the second mile - The only way to Jesus Christ is by the Means of the Cross (Luke 14:27)
The only way to the Cross is a denial of self (Luke 9:23). Are you in the second mile?

If they find JESUS, then they have found the "way".
As he IS the "Way, the Truth, and the (eternal) Life".

John 14:6King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

But how does a Christian find Jesus? See post #1.

Please note the following:
The only way to God is through Jesus Christ (John 14:6)
The only way to Jesus Christ is by the Means of the Cross (Luke 14:27)
The only way to the Cross is a denial of self (Luke 9:23)

Jesus Personally stated, and unequivocally so:
"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (proclaims in no uncertain terms exactly Who and What Jesus is):
no man comes unto the Father, but by Me (He declares positively that this idea of God as Father, this approach to God for every man is through Him - through what He is and what He has done)" (John 14:6).
