” I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6
I have read this scripture many times over the many years that I have known Christ. It is one of the most important scriptures in my mind due to the direction the Lord wants us to go. I have broken down the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE in today’s message.
The Way: Jesus described Himself as the “only way.” A way is a path or a route. The disciples had expressed concern and confusion, at the time, as to where Jesus was going and how to follow him. As Jesus told them from the beginning, and continues to tell us today, “follow me.” He makes it clear that there is no other way to heaven but through faith and trust in him. We must come to Jesus and be saved. Jesus is the only way to salvation! When he knocks at your door, open it and invite him in!
The Truth: The truth in the eyes of Jesus is doing and being in God’s will in a consistent and obedient manner. Our faith and our trust in him must be strong enough to consistently drive us to him every day. Our lives must reflect his ways, his words and his actions. We must live in our Lord as He lives in us. Jesus is the truth, and we must plug into him each and every day!
The Life: Christ is the bearer and giver of everlasting life. He is the true source, of not only physical life, but also spiritual life. He is the true vine, and we must be attached to the true vine in order to live. When we are attached to him, we listen to his word. We pray and converse with him often. We strengthen our ways because we are receiving our power from the one and only source of life.
There is only one path that is important to follow, and that path follows Jesus into eternal life and into the presence of our God everlasting!
PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
