"FUNDAMENTALLY, OUR LORD'S MESSAGE WAS HIMSELF.
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO PREACH A GOSPEL;
HE HIMSELF IS THAT GOSPEL.
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO GIVE BREAD;
HE SAID, "I AM THE BREAD."
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO SHED LIGHT;
HE SAID, "I AM THE LIGHT."
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO SHOW THE DOOR;
HE SAID, "I AM THE DOOR."
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO NAME A SHEPHERD;
HE SAID, "I AM THE SHEPHERD."
HE DID NOT COME MERELY TO POINT THE WAY;
HE SAID, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.""
