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'.
