"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to The Father except through Me.' " John 14:6 (NIV)
This verse is the sixth of the seven great "I AM" statements which was spoken by Christ, and recorded by the Apostle John. Here Jesus was answering a question posed by the Apostle Thomas. Although He was speaking directly to Thomas, He was in the process of speaking comfort to His disciples regarding His impending departure, and also speaking indirectly to us, and all who read and hear The Word of God. Jesus said, "I AM The Way and The Truth and The Life." He is "the only way" to salvation. He is "the whole truth" and nothing but the truth. His is life and "the giver of life".
We need to believe, understand, and tell people that Jesus, The Christ, is The Way. He is the way to God (John 10:9), the way to escape temptation (1 Corinthian 10:13), the way to holiness (Hebrews 9:12), the way to a new and living way (Hebrews 10:19-20), the way of truth (2 Peter 2:2), the way to the right way (2 Peter 10:15), and the way of righteousness (2 Peter 2:21). Jesus, The Christ is The Truth. He is the truth of God. (John 1:14) Jesus, The Christ is The Life. He is the life of God. (John 1:4 & 11:25) Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the only way to salvation and eternal life with God in heaven. (Acts 4:12) Only by believing, seeking, and following Him can we find the way, the truth, and the life.
