Jesus - The Way, the Truth, and the Life

In continuation of last week; I will try and explain in more in-depth terms, what or who Jesus is (John 14:6-7). Let’s address each one of these statements that Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” First let’s address “the Way.” The way to where? What was He talking about? Where was He talking about? The answer to that is, the way to the father, creator of all things, the way to the Kingdom of God, Our creator, Our All in All. God made us and we strayed from Him because of sin. Jesus came to redeem us from the bonds of Satan, from captivity, from slavery to sin. How did He do this? He did it by teaching us the truth.

The truth “What is the Truth”? The truth of God, Pilate asked Jesus that question and got no answer. Why? Because he was not of the truth see John 18:38. He that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the church. Remember in my former lessons I stated “man does not have free will, but he does have choice. What will you base your choices on, a lie or the truth? In John 18:37 Jesus stated “He came to bare witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.

The life, I’m sure that at some time in your life you have seen fields, gardens, and houses that have been neglected. There was no one to care for them and they deteriorated. Grass and weeds covered the area, choking out the crop that was planted. Houses fell apart, because they had no upkeep. Does this compare to you because you have not accepted Jesus Christ in to your life? If you will accept Jesus, You will be accepting God the Father that sent Him into the world as a propitiation for our sins. Thereby we won't be just sitting, waiting on someone to care, when our lives have fallen apart.

I’m sure some of you are wondering what does this have to do with me. My life is OK, I don’t want to Change my life. I like my life the way it is. Let me assure you it will not last things will change. What seems to be a good time today will be a bad time tomorrow. Some maybe saying I don’t need you preaching Jesus to me. Well, maybe not just know we are all born in sin and shaped in iniquity (Ps. 51:5). How can we be fine or OK? Have you look at the world we live in? I don’t have the time or space to list all that is going on and man is helpless to stop it. Believe me when I say “If you stay in something long enough you will become like it, thereby accepting the conditions as OK. What can I do to change it?

Nothing, if you like things the way they are; such as sickness, homelessness, violence, death, joblessness, have broken- homes, and families. Need I say more? You’ve tried everything else why not try Jesus? All he is saying is come home to God your father. He didn’t say he was God, he said that God sent Him and He was one with God. The works he did and the words he spoke were from God not him. Through Christ Jesus, Father God showed us the way to redemption. The truth about God and the relationship that He wants to have with us. Jesus came to show us the way to that abundant life, to free us from bondage. Don’t fool yourself Satan is real and this world is his kingdom. So until next week, “May the truth (the word of God) find its way into your heart, so that you too can have that abundant life in Christ.

Amen and Hallelujah!!!!!

In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity; and by the fear of the lord one departs from evil. (Prov.16:6)
