“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”
Jesus tells us in this verse that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one goes to the Father without Him. It’s like traveling from Minneapolis to Chicago and I94 is the road to follow to get there. The desired destination is Chicago. But our goal is to receive the life of the Father and Jesus is the way to get there.
The Message Bible says: “Jesus said, ‘I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me.'”
Jesus will always take us straight through truth along the way to His life. In a similar manner Milwaukee is on the road between Minneapolis and Chicago. I94 goes straight through Milwaukee. If you don’t go through Milwaukee you aren’t on the right road to Chicago.
Our destination is the eternal life of God. To get there, we always must go straight through the truth because all other roads are blocked. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life all combined in one wonderful Savior.
Jesus is my only way to get to the Father. I trust Him and He will see me through.
