JESUS, THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE


In the gospel of John 14:6-14, our Lord Jesus Christ introduced himself as the Way, the Truth and the Life. These three attributes are pregnant with meaning. They are true identity of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
THE WAY: There are so many ways but there is only one way that leads to heaven. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Way to heaven. He assures his followers, “I am the gate. Whoever comes in by me will be saved...” (John 10:9) Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only channel that connects us to the heavenly network. He is the only link to God the Father. With him, we are fully connected!

THE TRUTH: The Scripture presents the devil as the father of lies. Jesus told the Jews, “You are the children of your father, the devil… from the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies” (John 8:44). Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the other hand, is the Truth. He is the Master of truth. Those who live a life of sincerity belongs to him. Dear reader, where do you belong? Are you on the side of lies or on the side of truth? To those who belong to Jesus, he declares in John 8:32, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

THE LIFE: Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life. He says, “I am the bread of life those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty” (John 6:35). Jesus is the giver of life, the sustainer of life and the restorer of life. His mission is to give life. He assured his followers, “I have come in order that you might have life in abundance” (John 10:10). Our Lord Jesus Christ is indeed the source of life!

Child of God, as you give your life to Jesus Christ, He will lead you to heaven, He will guide you in the path of truth and He will restore and sustain your life. And it shall be well with you, in Jesus name – Amen!

Inspirational Message: There are so many ways, but there is only one way that leads to heaven. Jesus is the Way!

Prayer to Jesus the Way: Lord Jesus Christ, you introduced yourself as the only Way that leads to heaven. Lord, give us the grace to follow this way all the days of our lives and through this way may we gain eternal life with you in heaven where you live and reign forever and ever - Amen!
