He is "the way"...what way are you going?Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
John 14:6
It was the night of the Last Supper. The apostle Judas had just left to betray Jesus to the religious authorities. Jesus had just predicted his own death and Peter's upcoming denial of knowing him. Undoubtedly, the remaining apostles were overwhelmed with what they heard, even though they didn't understand it fully. Jesus wanted to calm their fears, so he spoke to them about heaven, assuring his friends that he was preparing a special place for each of them. But Thomas was still apprehensive. He asked Jesus how they would know how to get to where Jesus was. Those words were Jesus's powerful reply.
The only way to heaven, eternal life, and God himself, is through Jesus. After Jesus' death, the message his followers shared with others was often referred to as "the Way." The focus of this message was that Jesus fulfilled what the Scriptures promised. His death opened the way for people's rebellion against God to be forgiven so they could spend eternity together with him.
Jesus is the living truth of this message. He is the way God has communicated most clearly with the world. No other person, religious belief, tradition, or philosophy contains the whole story, the complete truth about God and the meaning of life.
Everything in the Bible points to Jesus. He is the truth that explains it all.
Only by responding to that truth can an authentic, purpose-filled life be yours - in this world and the next.
Selah people' and friends some people believe Jesus was just a good man. If you speak to anyone who believes this, ask what he or she feels about Jesus in light of what John 14:6.
"Peace be yours as you and I go the right way and share the light of Christ with others as we begin a new day and a new week."
Your pastor,
Rev Patrick Muston (PreacherPatrick)
