Presentation transcript:

1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me 1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.“ 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Background where we first observe that Jesus is... Two of the most remarkable statements by Jesus are found in one verse... "I am the way, the truth, and the life." "No one comes to the Father except through Me." These statements were made in a discussion with His disciples... As He prepared them for His impending death - John 14:1-4 Which prompted questions by Thomas and Philip - John 14:5,7-9 In making such statements, Jesus claims to be three things: "The Way,The Truth, And The Life." Let's take a closer look, where we first observe that Jesus is...

The Way JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD... Jesus clearly claims to the be only way to God - John 14:6 As Peter would proclaim, there is no salvation but through Him - Acts 4:12 This may sound politically incorrect, but Jesus states it nonetheless HOW JESUS IS THE WAY TO THE FATHER... By revealing Him - John 14:7-9; John 1:18; 12:44-45 By opening the way to Him - Heb 10:19-20 By serving as our high priest - Heb 2: 17-18; 4:14-16; 10:21-22 He now intercedes for us As our Advocate - 1 John 2:1 At the right hand of God - Rom 8:34 The one (and only) Mediator between God and man - 1 Tim 2:5 Who ever lives to intercede for us! - Heb 7:24-25 By virtue of His life on earth, His death on the cross, and now His service in heaven, Jesus is truly the only way to God! Jesus not only is the way to God, He is also...

The Truth WHAT IS TRUTH...? HOW JESUS IS THE TRUTH... The very question posed by Pontius Pilate - John 18:38 Consider the meaning of the Greek words translated as "true" and "truth": True (alethes) - "unconcealed, manifest...actual, true to fact" True (alethinos) - "denotes 'true' in the sense of 'real, ideal, genuine;'" Truth (aletheia) 1) "objectively, signifying 'the reality lying at the basis of an appearance; the manifested, veritable essence of a matter' ". 2) "subjectively, 'truthfulness,' 'truth,' not merely verbal, but sincerity and integrity of character" When Jesus speaks of truth, it describes that which corresponds to reality, what is factual and absolute, not relative HOW JESUS IS THE TRUTH... He proclaims that truth is real and knowable - John 8:32 He proclaims that truth can set one free from the bondage of sin - John 8:32-34 His doctrine is the way to truth that frees one from sin - John 8:31-32,34-36 He faithfully proclaimed His Father's Word, which is truth - John 17:14,17 By abiding in Jesus' teachings, we can know the truth and the freedom it offers! Freedom from the bondage of sin becomes even more meaningful when we consider how Jesus is...

The Life HE OFFERS ABUNDANT LIFE... As He promised in His discourse as the Good Shepherd - John 10:10-11 Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give - John 14:27; 16:33; Phil 4:6-7 He gives us His love, which passes knowledge - John 15:10; Eph 3:19 He provides His joy, that is inexpressible - John 15:11; 1 Pet 1:8 With such peace, love, and joy, what an abundant life Jesus offers! HOW JESUS PROVIDES ABUNDANT LIFE... By His doctrine regarding the new birth We must be born again - John 3:3 We must be born again of water and the Spirit - John 3:4-5 By sending the Spirit who gives the new birth and new life The Spirit who regenerates us in baptism - Tit 3:5-6 The Spirit who becomes for us "rivers of living water" - John 7:37-39; Gal 5:22-23 Jesus provides abundant life His through gospel, by which we are born again to a new life which the Spirit makes possible - 1 Pet 2:22-25

The Application Jesus is truly the way, the truth, and the life... The way to knowing and experience God as our Heavenly Father The embodiment of truth that provides freedom from the guilt and bondage of sin The source of life that is blessed now and lasts forever! Has Jesus become your way to God, your truth, and your life...? To a close and personal relationship with God? To deliverance from the guilt of sin through the blood of Christ? To an abundant life by virtue of a spiritual rebirth and the blessings that follow? Jesus may be "the way, truth, and life”, but He is of no value unless He becomes "your" way to the true salvation that leads to eternal life with God. Have you responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ...? Mk 16:15- 16; Acts 2:38; 22:16
