- Jesus - The Only Way
-
“Moses said to God, 'Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you,” and they ask me, “What is his name?” Then what shall I tell them?' God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.”' God also said to Moses, 'Say to the Israelites, “The LORD, the God of your fathers – the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob – has sent me to you.”'... [Jesus said] 'Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.' 'You are not yet fifty years old,' the Jews said to him,'and you have seen Abraham!' 'I tell you the truth,' Jesus answered, 'before Abraham was born, I am!'... Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.... If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

Highlight
Have you ever read the Constitution and wondered “what were the Founders intentions behind this or that phrase?” The US Constitution in the Resources section contains online references to the Federalist Papers – an early work by three founding fathers on the intention of each section of the US Constitution. But, if you are looking for something more lively, you could turn to the records of the continental congress link in the Resources section, under Congressional Records, or Elliot's or Farrand's records of the debates, or read about the intentions in the more personalized correspondence, writings and letters of the founders.
