I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life – John 14:6
Jesus tells the disciples in John 14:6 that He is the way and the truth and the life. This is a powerful statement, but many people struggle to understand what Jesus is saying here.
In this passage Jesus is explaining to his disciples that He is going to the Father to prepare a place for them. In the midst of this, one of the disciples says to Jesus, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going.”
And Jesus is quick to respond, saying, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
The truth – This is an amazing claim. It is a great reminder that Jesus is not just a prophet, but He is also God Himself.
He is the Creator and Giver of all life, natural, spiritual, and eternal. He is the author of salvation, and the only way to heaven.
All who receive Christ by faith will have eternal life in heaven.
Despite the fact that Peter and Thomas had their doubts, they were able to believe in Jesus’ teachings. This is a wonderful testimony of how God can turn a person’s life around if they will only trust and follow Him.
