Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the Life.” John 14.6

Jesus is the way we get close to God again, the truth from God, and He provides forever life with God.

Hello, Cutie! What is going down, Shorty? Goodbye, Sweetie Pie! Sometimes a nickname tells us something about a person. Jesus gave us some of His names so we could understand more of who He is.

One of Jesus’ followers asked how to get to God the Father's house in heaven. “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”” Jesus answered a ‘how?’ question with a ‘who’! Jesus is the answer to more questions than we might realise.

‘I am’ is a name for God. When Moses wanted God to tell him His name, God simply said, “I am.” When Jesus said “I Am,” He was showing that He is God (the Son). When Jesus said, “I am the way, “ He was showing that He is the spiritual path to our Father God. The way to God is through believing in Jesus Himself. God will handle the details of how you get to heaven, but the way to be close to God is through believing in Jesus.

In front of funny mirrors you might seem to be super tall, or lumpy, or short, but that is not what you truly look like. Truth is what is real and actual. Jesus is not like a funny mirror. He never lies or gives us the wrong impression. What is real and true is found in Jesus and His teaching in the Bible. Jesus is the only way to God because Jesus is the ultimate Truth.

Spiritually, we are dead without God. When we believe in Jesus, He brings our sin-smothered souls to life. Jesus created all life, and true life is found in Him. Jesus is the true life who brings us close to love and enjoy our Father God. Fake gods, wrong directions, lying ideas or spiritually dead people will never be the way to our Father God. Jesus tells us He is the only way to be close to Father God again, both now and in heaven.

Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jesus assures others of who He is.   

John 14.1-6

Jesus is the truth, so how might you respond to someone who said they did not believe Jesus?
