John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
Jesus declares that he is the way, the truth, and the life. The Hebrews would say the same thing about Torah. Jesus is saying that he now is the way to the Father. He has fulfilled and completed the Law. Interesting, but that's for another time.
This verse creates problems for us in our pluralistic, post-modern society. Faith is relative today. "Whatever works for you" is the attitude many Americans have in matters of faith and spirituality. While I must learn to share the true story of Jesus in today's culture, I must not succumb to this philosophy. Jesus has made it clear that He and He alone is the way to the Father. He alone holds the keys to the kingdom, eternal life and heaven. I must proclaim this message and this message only to my world.
Dear Jesus, thank you for being the way, the truth, and the life for the whole world. Amen.
