For Jesus to say "I am the Way" means there is a journey ahead...it certainly doesn't mean, "we're there". In Acts, we find Peter is on this journey, he is on the Way, and as he follows he receives a great capacity to be filled with the Spirit and follow closer. The principle? God is holding no good thing back from us. If it were possible for us to be with Him where He is this very instant, we would be there. If it were possible for Him to zap us in an instant and make us loving, He would do it… The only Way is set before us... in Jesus.
