- Ephesians 2:1 "And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins."
Christ is the Way, you don't have to be lost
Christ is the Truth, you don't have to be blind
Christ is the Life, you don't have to be dead

Four passages in the Epistle to the Hebrews record that Christ is seated at the right hand of God. The right hand of God is a place of
- prominence (Hebrews 1:3)
- power (Hebrews 8:1)
- privilege (Hebrews 10:12)
- pleasure (Hebrews 12:2)
Hebrews 1:3 - Christ as the Son (His person)
Hebrews 8:1 - Christ as the King * (His perfection)
Hebrews 10:12 - Christ as the Priest (His propitiation)
Hebrews 12:2 - Christ as the Prophet (His passion)
* may not be obvious, confer Melchisedec (7:1), king of Salem
What is the significance of the phrase "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec" which occurs three times in the Epistle to the Hebrews?
The Office of Christ (Heb 5:6)
"Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec"
The Order of Perfection (Heb 7:17)
"Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec"
The Oath of God (Heb 7:21)
"Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec"

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:6
Adam, the typical man of us, lost the way, truth and life in God when he sinned. The way to the tree of life was barred by the cherubims and the flaming sword. The truth of God was lost when he believed in the serpent's lie. He died and lost his life in God when he took the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Christ is the only means for lost sinners to come back to God.
He is the Way so that we can have reconciliation with God.
He is the Truth so that we can have revelation of God.
He is the Life so that we can have regeneration in God.

J. C. Ryle said, "The fulness of these precious words can probably never be taken in by man. He that attempts to unfold them does little more than scratch the surface of a rich soil."
Thomas A’Kempis, the author of the book Imitation of Christ wrote, "Without the way there is no going; without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living. I am the way which thou ought to follow, the truth which thou ought to trust, the life which thou ought to live."
I personally believe that this is the most profound verse regarding the Lord Jesus Christ and said by Himself. I will be posting a series of outlines on this verse.
