I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6 English Standard Version)
“I am the way”, said the One who would soon be nailed to a cross; being both despised and rejected by men. Jesus, in life, always pointed men to the Father and even in death, He remained the signpost of heaven pointing the way home.
“I am the Truth”, said the One who would soon be accused and slandered by the lies of evil men. The lies would carry the moment and the Son of God would be turned over to be crucified, but the Truth of God endures long after those men are dead and in the grave.
“I am the Life”, said the One whose dead body would soon be placed in a borrowed tomb. That dark moment looked like the end until He bodily rose from the tomb on the third day. Not only did He rise from the dead, but He lives forever and by God’s grace through faith in what Jesus has done for us at the cross, we can, too!
