yep that’s the way to do it. In education they call it; I do, we do, you do. We have to be ‘shown’ & then we can take over. also find it interesting that Jesus is known as the Way-shower…
Back in early Christianity walking with Jesus was known as the way. Christ came and lived a perfect life as an example. He showed us how to live. We can now have a relationship with him as he guided us in our day to day. Learning to walk the way he showed. Way shower :)
In my day to day I literally conversate with Jesus. Knowing he is with me through it all. Imagine a best fren that is with you. How do you talk and interact with them. That is how Jesus wants our relationship to be with him. A best fren ship moment to moment.
so Jesus knows the 'way' to God, and is here to 'show' us.
also, the 'Sayings Gospel of Jesus' (common material between Matthew and Luke) is AKA as the Q-Source, and it's material 'showing' us how to live...example; the Beatitudes are in the the Q-Source.
and the Jefferson Bible is similar to the Q-Source, so TJ also saw value in the material. he separated it out from the rest of the Bible.

Thanks for that Slechta I'd like to add to it We are the waking universe becoming aware of itself
Jesus is the Way = Show..er, it's not intended as taking a shower. He will Show us.

yes I'll try:)
not an expert, it's something I'm recently familiar with, have seen the term in reference to Christian Science, etc.
but it makes sense. the Bible says; Jesus is ''the way, and the truth, and the life'' (John 14:6)
and the word 'show' has several meanings. one being Q's 'show', and then Everything 'shown' has meaning...can be a noun or verb.
