TRUTH - John 14:6

 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

There is no pathway to God the Father except by receiving, embracing and believing in Jesus.  He is the Way because He is the Truth and the Life.  Without the Way there is no going, without the Truth there is no knowing and without the Life there is no living.  Believers need to begin with Him, continue in Him and end in Him.

Jesus is the Way, He doesn’t just show us the way.  He is the Way because of the cross by  His obedience and sacrifice.  He is the only means to access or approach the Father.  He is our atoning sacrifice and our advocate.  He provides access only through obedience, surrender and dependence upon Him.

Jesus is the Truth, the representation of things as they are.  The life and teaching of Jesus Christ was the most complete and perfect representation of the eternal that has been presented to man.  He taught the way of God in truth, He is the sum of all the truths of the Gospel and He is the truth of all promises and prophecies.  He furnishes believers with all knowledge required for life.

Jesus is the Life, the author and giver of natural, spiritual and eternal life.  He is one with the Father and raises men from spiritual death.  Christ is the true way to eternal life.
