The way, the truth and the life

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
This, the sixth ‘I am’ statement of Jesus Christ, is one that divides people today. Those who say there are many ways to God, are proved wrong right here. The Bible clearly teaches that there is one and only one way to God, and that is through His Son Jesus Christ. If you have a problem with this, then take it up with Him. I’m only repeating what He said. Instead of getting upset at the so-called intolerance of Christians, who say (as the Bible does) that there is only one way, we should be thankful that there is a way at all.
But let’s have a look at what Jesus says here. Thomas has asked Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” (John 14:5). Jesus says that He is the way. If He is the one who is guiding our steps, we can be sure that our path will take us to the Father. No wonder, then, that the early church movement was called ‘The Way’ (Acts 9:2, 19:9, 19:23, 22:4, 24:14, 24:22).
Next, Jesus says He is the truth. In Him is no falsehood. If we want to know the truth, we just need to look at Jesus. When we know the truth, the truth will set us free (John 8:32, 8:36).
Thirdly, Jesus says He is the life. This reiterates what we read yesterday about Jesus being the resurrection and the life.
With all these together, we see that our future with Jesus is bright. When you find that right road, the road that leads to the Father, the Way that is Jesus Himself, you’ll never want to leave it.
