When Jesus said, \u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.\u201d, He was painting the same picture with a twist. Jesus was the righteous One who entered the gate of the LORD for us. When we have such a great mediator between God and humanity in Jesus Christ we can be assured that God hears us.
