Jesus is our pattern of excellence, as in a way that is, us–magnified. We, humans, need him to be as we are: Jesus is the image of that truth; in that, he is the Son of man. If Jesus is not as we are; then, we have no ready way to flow to God, as in the image of the Christ. We need this pattern of the Christ because, there is no other choice . . . as presented here; Jesus declared that, he is the way . . .
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
(John 14:1-7)
