“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 NLT
This is the most powerful statement ever made by our Lord. Jesus is declaring that He, and no other, is the way- the truth and the life. He is the Son of God, with God from the beginning and God’s gift of salvation to mankind. John 1:1 says in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God! This speaks of Jesus the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God who has always been and will be forever.
Jesus did not pronounce he was seeking the truth that would set men free. No, he declared that he was the truth- the everlasting truth of God, that would bring salvation to the world. Jesus is the answer to prophecy, fulfillment of the law, and the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Many state that there now exists many pathways to God, to salvation. They are deceived! There is only one truth, one way and one life perfect enough to fulfill the Father’s promise.
The truth is a powerful reality that demands that we both know and accept the reality of who it is. Truth is a person-wrapped up in the life, the words and the power of Jesus. He is coming again! It is time for us all to honor him, love him, accept him as our savior and live in his truth all our days! You will proclaim by the deeds of your life, what truth you believe. My prayer is that it is the one who can save you.
In Christ
