'JESUS IS THE WAY,THE TRUTH & THE LIFE'

"Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life"

(Well my Dear Brethren, yesterday we spoke about How WE should BURN FOR JESUS, let us first establish the fact that JESUS is the only WAY...TRUTH .....and LIFE, HE is the only MEDIATOR between GOD & MAN (that is U & ME)...so let us BURN to know MORE about HIM (JESUS OUR LORD & SAVIOR).

 Jesus Christ is the POWER of GOD and the WISDOM of GOD (1Co:1:23: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;[24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God). He is not one of an infinite number of ways to God; He is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. In (John14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” )That is “probably the most exclusive statement ever made by anyone.” It is the greatest offense in our modern age of tolerance. But the truth remains as quoted in (Acts 4:12). “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved”.  The world outside of Christ hates that statement. The truth is Jesus is Lord . “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5).

Jesus made this statement with a sense of supreme authority on the night before His death. This is one of the seven great “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. Jesus directs the thoughts of the disciples to Himself. He is “the way, the truth, and the life.” He answers to our greatest needs in life, and He can do that because He is the “I AM.” “I myself (I with strong emphasis) am the way.” With the “I am” there is the emphatic emphasis, “I and I alone, I and no other” am the way, and the truth, and the life.  The “way” is the means to God the Father. He is the only Way. Only this ONE WAY takes us to the Father, and this way is a unique person.

JESUS IS THE WAY  JESUS is not only the way; HE is the only way to the Father. Man is totally ruined in sin, and his only hope in a right relationship with God is through the atonement of Jesus Christ. The solution to our problem is a personal relationship with Christ. Jesus said, “It is enough that you know Me.”

Our problem is SIN

Our problem is we are lost spiritually. We are like dumb foolish sheep that have wandered away into spiritual wilderness and have lost our way. Without Jesus Christ we are wanderers.

We are totally ruined by sin and are in a state of depravity. We feel guilty because we are guilty. We are in total ruin in God’s sight. We are not slightly tarnished by sin; we are dead, lost, condemned, unclean, alienated, totally depraved. We cannot influence on our part a right relationship with God. The only way we can have a right relationship with Him is by His grace.  We are sinners. That is not an excuse or a cop-out. It is a reality. We are spiritually dead and lost.

WASH by the BLOOD

“Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way let us sprinkle ourselves with the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS from the CROWN of our HEADS to the very SOLES of our FEET  and be cleansed from an evil conscience and CLAIM TOTAL & COMPLETE PROTECTION for our lives."

HE IS THE ONLY PERFECT WAY

Jesus in not only your only way; He is the perfect way into God’s presence. We have a perfect position with God the Father. My faith says, ‘Though I have sinned, I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and though I am guilty, yet by GRACE I AM SAVED and I AM A CHILD OF GOD STILL.’ . . . ‘How could I ever sin against my God who is so good to me? 

JESUS IS THE TRUTH

Jesus Christ is the full, final and complete revelation of God. Jesus is the truth. “I myself am the truth.” “I and I alone, and no one else am the truth.” Jesus is the actual embodiment of the truth. He is the authoritative representative and revealer of God. He hears what the Father says and does what the Father tells Him to do. You can paraphrase John 14:6 “I am the way that reveals the truth (about God) and gives life (to people).”

WE ARE LIVING IN A CONFUSED WORLD

Jesus Christ is the very reality of all God’s grace toward us sinners. Grace and truth could not merely be given. It actually came through the living person of Jesus Christ.

You don’t need a free book from the cults, or a “corrected” version of the King James Bible from the cults. Adam believed the devil’s lie, and men still believe it to this day. The reason is because fallen man has his spiritual senses darkened. The apostle Paul said, “being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart” (Eph. 4:18). The truth is found in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the truth. As He reveals the Father He exposes our sin and unbelief, for  “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3).

Men have exchanged the truth about God for a lie (Rom. 3:7; 15:8; 1:25). But the very truth of God resides in Christ. He is “FULL OF GRACE & TRUTH” (John1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.), and is the source of grace and truth to men (Joh:1:17: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.). Truth is God’s very reality revealing itself in Jesus. Truth is knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. To have the Truth is to have eternal life.

HE IS THE GOD OF TRUTH

Have you humbled yourself and bowed down before Him who is the Truth—eternal Truth? The emphasis in this great statement is not just truth as opposed to a lie, reality as opposed to mere illusion, but His faithfulness, reliability, trustworthiness, sureness. Jesus Christ is the "God of truth" (Isiaih 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes). Absolute truth is characteristic of God, and it is only as we know God that we know truth. It includes the complete reliability and the complete integrity of God. He will certainly act in accordance with the highest conceivable integrity and righteousness. 

JESUS IS THE LIFE

Jesus is “the life” for all who will repent and believe on Him alone for salvation. He alone delivers us from death. Christ is the Emancipator from death—physical, spiritual and eternal. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).  “I myself,” this divine Person in our flesh, “I myself am the life.”

The natural man is spiritually dead. He is lifeless. Everything revolves around I, me and mine in the natural man’s life. He is alive to the world, but dead to God, and the things of God. He has earthly existence, but he is dead spiritually. However, Jesus promises to raise the dead. He gives life, eternal life, to all who will call upon HIM & HIS NAME. The life Christ gives is God’s life, therefore that life is eternal life. This truth gives the believer great assurance because we can no more perish than can God the Father can. If you have eternal life you cannot loose it because it is "ETERNAL." 

JESUS said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life” (John 5:24). The apostle John wrote: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (3:36).

Jesus promised “eternal life” to all who believe on Him. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:27-28).

Jesus came that you may have His kind of life. He alone is the giver of life because He is its source. We must turn to Him who is the Life if we want abundant life.

Physical existence matters little, the only life worthy of the name is that which Jesus brings to life, because He is “the life.” Jesus is the real and living way of life.


REF. FROM GOSPEL OF JOHN

“Life” in the Gospel of John is characteristically “eternal life” (3:15). It is the gift of God through His Son. He came that men "might have life and have it more abundantly" (10:10). He died that men might have everlasting life and not perish (3:16-17). Only those who come to Him and eat His flesh and drink His blood have life (5:40).  Only those who see the Son and believe on Him can have life (6:40). He is the living bread that gives eternal life (6:51). He said that He had power to lay down His life and to take it again (10:18). His resurrection proves that He did just that. When He gives life men will never perish (10:28). As Lord of life He raised Lazarus from the dead (11:25-26; 14:6). Just as the Father who “has life in Himself” so does the Son (5:26). The whole Gospel of John is about this "life" that the Son gives to those who will call upon His name.

Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Jesus is not only the way to God; He is the truth of God because He is the embodiment of God’s self-revelation. He is the life of God. He is "the true God and eternal life" (1 John 5:20).

Jesus does not just show us the way to the Father; He is the way to the Father, the only way. Access to the Father’s house in heaven will only be through Jesus and no other person. He is the only one who can lead us to the place He has prepared for us. The way and the truth, and the life come to a focus in the one phrase, “through Me.” Jesus is the means.

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY  

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).  The Father is on a divine mission in the life of His Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, John 14:10 says the Father is living in Him. “I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?”

“No one comes to the Father but through Me.” Christ is the only way to God. “For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 3:11).

Those words are exclusive, but not necessarily offensive, because they state precisely our greatest need. God in His matchless grace stepped in and provided what we could never provide for ourselves. That is good news.

He offers to each of us this new life. All that He requires is that we receive Him by faith. There is nothing to achieve, no self-help programs, no self-improvements to be made, no lessons to learn. He simply asks us to believe on Him. Accept Jesus Christ and what He claims to be—the way to God, the truth about God, the life of God. Believe on Him as receive the free gift of eternal life.  

It is almost as if Jesus states the fact, “I am, the way, the truth, the life” and then restates it saying, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.” “I alone am the one by whom people go to the Father.”
