Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6
This verse is a verse that clearly defines our religion and the foundation on which we stand… There are 4 non-negotiable points that are highlighted below that separate light from darkness, life from death, and sickness from health… There are many religions in our societies today, many different temples, churches, and synagogues; however, today we must examine why the religions all differ...
1) “I am the way…” In traveling, you can find many routes to reach your destination, sometimes stumbling upon a shortcut, or even finding that your route is much longer than another path… Whatever the case may be, today we are called to remember that there are no shortcuts in reaching heaven… There are no paths that will lead to an easy road of obtaining Salvation… All must go through Jesus!
2) “I am the truth…” There are a lot of false doctrines, a lot of people trying to appease the itching ear, and a lot of people who want to pick and choose which parts of the bible they want to hold as sacred and true… I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being lied to, tired of being suppressed, and tired of being disrespected! Jesus tells us today that all truth is in Him; He has the direction for your life, you won’t find any gimmicks in Him, no tall tales, no hidden fees…
3) “…and the life!” Jesus told us that He came to give life and give it more abundantly… This simply tells me that I am not living until I know Him… Ezekiel was faced with a valley of dry bones; they came together; however, until He prophesied to the winds, there was no life in them… This rule applies to us today; many of us are moving, but not living… We are active but not alive, and this passage teaches us that without Jesus, death is certain and is already being experienced.
4) “…no man cometh to the father, but by me!” This is one of the biggest stumbling blocks for many who want to reach the destiny in which God has called them to… Remember that before Jesus' death on the cross, we could not go to the Father in prayer; however, as Jesus gave up His spirit, the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom, symbolizing the fact that we can now go to God in prayer… It is through Jesus and only through Him that we obtain the righteousness to be fit for the Kingdom of God…
In Jesus, you have your being; it is only through Him that you can find your way, live in truth, have life, and be with the Father for all Eternity…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
