“Live the life Jesus led,” Archbishop Sentamu told the school children assembled at the Church Teachers College in Mandeville. “He is like the ‘passport’, that enables you do things, it is important that you find the Lord in whatever you do,” he reminded.
“Jesus when he says he is the way is not talking about a mark that you read, but the road, I am a road walk me,” said Archbishop Sentamu to a packed audience. “The only way to know the road is to walk it.”
“When he says I am the way, he is saying you have to live the kind of life I am living,” he added.
“And when he says truth it is not some philosophical idea that one is trying to work out. I am the truth to those who are confused, confused about what it is to be human, how to live, confused about the future and worried about the present,” said the Archbishop of York.
“The Christian faith is not having ideas about ourselves the actual heart of the Christian faith is knowing the person,” he told.
“It is knowing Jesus, not knowing about Jesus,” said Archbishop Sentamu. “The holy spirit has been sent along to know Jesus, walk Jesus and live Jesus. He is the one who comes along when life is getting very very difficult.”
“Wherever you go wrong in your life, with Jesus you are on the victory side,” he said.
