John 14:6 is a passage you probably have memorized. It is perhaps only slightly less well known than John 3:16.
As I read this the other day, it occurred to me that the import of this passage is that no matter what we are seeking in this life, Jesus is the fulfillment of that search.
If we are seeking purpose, He is the way.
If we are seeking reality, He is the truth.
If we are seeking meaning, fulfillment, health, healing, happiness, significance, He is the life.
The search is over, we should be about finding.
If we are seeking purpose, He is the way.

Dead on, as I am finding finally now after over five and a half decades of growing and learning to walk with Christ. I am aware of my longing for all of the things you list. As you rightly observe, I've been focused on seeking these things and not finding them, missing that I had Him all along. What I need is the firm awareness of Christ Himself.
