Jesus told the disciples they knew the way to where He was going. Thomas asked how they could know the way without knowing the destination and Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father but by Him.
Jesus is not the best route to God, He is the only way. There is no other way to God except through Jesus Christ. We have been taught to think that there are some other ways, but the sad reality is that Jesus alone is the way and to try to say there is another way is to call Jesus a liar and a deceiver.
Jesus is the truth, He is real, and He is the life. Apart from Him we are spiritually dead and everyone without Christ is spiritually dead no matter how intelligent or rich they are. There is always an emptiness in the heart that is not filled with Christ no man their achievements. It's only in Christ that you will find refuge, and strength and peace and Joy. Is Jesus real to you or is He just an illusion. Have you experienced Him? He is real.
Jesus explained that He is the exact representation of God and having seen Him, you have seen the Father. Knowing Christ is the same as knowing the Father.
Can we follow Jesus here?
Though not perfectly, we can be a representative of God; that is, those who meet us should experience something of God from us in some way. When we walk with Christ, we become more and more like Him and the people who come in contact with us will be able to sense some Christlikeness in us.
It has to start with following Jesus is our daily life. Remember that you cannot follow Him unless you love Him more than everyone and everything else. When you follow Him, you will not walk in darkness. His light will continue to shine through the dark areas in your life showing you area after area where you are not following Him so that you can cleanse yourself from that and follow Him in that particular area. Continue to follow Him and long to do it unto your dying day. Don't get out of the race before finishing, but run and endure until the end.
You are blessed to be a blessing
