John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”

The Bible is a very ambiguous collection of books. It always opens news sides about things that we thought we already knew and on the other hand it’s very simple. The phrase in question belongs to the latter group, the one that is clear and simple: the only way to God is to acknowledge Jesus and accept Him personally. People should also remember, that there is no heaven without God. So if you really want to “get to heaven” you can’t make it by visiting the church on Christmas or confirmation classes. You can make it only through what Jesus did at the cross.

The symbolism in this work:
the WAY: The fourth chapter of the Book of Revelation tells how God showed heaven to John. It must be unbelievably beautiful in there, and it is the end of our road! :) The background is needle felted and there’s a way and the sun coming up in the end of it.

the TRUTH: “doesn’t burn even in fire”. Bible is the word of God and the word of God is true. Also Jesus is called the Word of God. (John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”) This one has a felted “fire” background.

the LIFE: Bible compares Jesus to a tree and us believers to its branches. There’s an apple tree in the background, the apples reflects the fruits of the Spirit. In front of the tree there’s a “vessel” that had come down from a tree and I found it outside, now it’s containing mustard seeds. The “Life” -part of this work also reflects the goal of our way, heaven, because that’s the place where our faith will finally be fulfilled and where we are given the treasure that is promised to us for all those moment that we have strongly believed in God’s mercy and that He really takes action.
