As I understand it, the book of John is from the point of view of Christ, not Jesus. Christ is from the beginning of Creation and lived through Jesus, but it's not Jesus' last name. Read through that lense, the book of John makes more sense as we are in Christ and Christ is in us - which is what several of the letters to the churches express - the mystery of Christ.

I am very much enjoying your blog Reverand.

I do not see a problem with 'except through me'. It is through his life teaching and generosity that he opens the road to the Father to all. Why is there such a narrow understanding of this. He did the work, now we are all able to have the blessing!

I see God an an infinite unknowable and cannot accept any limitation on It's expression. I find wisdom in other religions besides Christianity. As the Sikh say, there is only one God and we are all one humanity. Why should any of us wish to be part of something less than that?
