today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer. So many of you got this backwards. The Christian life is not

primarily advice about a better way to live. It's not about gaining wisdom and understanding

on all of life's mysteries. The Christian life is about relationship with a person.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitovich.

These days, claiming there's such a thing as absolute truth isn't exactly popular. How many times have you heard the phrase, well, that's not my truth. My truth is this.

And if you really want to fire people up, try saying that absolute truth is found only in Jesus.

That's even more countercultural. But thankfully today, Pastor Jady walks us through one of Jesus's boldest claims. I am the way, the truth, and the life. And here's the

thing. It's not just about having the right answers or following a set of rules. It's about knowing

him, the one who has the answers. It's about real relationship with the Savior who offers us

the only way to true life. We're nearing the end of our teaching series,

But right now, let's join Pastor J.D. in John 14.

You have your Bibles.

I want you to take them and open them one final time to the gospel of John. Gospel of John,

specifically John 14. John 14, I had a, I had a friend who was a pretty good track athlete in high

school. He finished in the top three of every event he ever ran, except for one event where he came

in dead last.

Physically, he said he was ready for that race,

probably the best athlete, he said in his humble but accurate opinion of the bunch.

Mentally, he said he was ready also.

It was in a way meet.

Of course, he'd never run before.
