find the way, the truth, and life

John 14:6, NIV
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me

Imagine the scene. It’s the feast of Passover, and you have spent the evening with your friends and ministry partners remembering the goodness and faithfulness of God. And as the meal ends your very best friend gets up and starts to wash everyone’s feet. And as he does it he starts to tell you the things that are on his heart.

He tells you he is leaving you but doesn’t tell you where he is going. He talks about how you will need to be with each other - how you will need to love one another. He tells you not to be afraid and says he will prepare a place for you. And then Thomas - good old say-it-how-it-really-is Thomas - says, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
And then, the man you love most in the world, the one you have followed for three long years, says to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jesus doesn’t just say that he speaks the truth, he says he is the embodiment of truth. He doesn’t just say he can help you with your life, he says he is life itself. And he doesn’t say he is one of many ways, he says he is the only way.

And you don’t understand what he saying but you know deep in your heart that Jesus is sharing a profound truth with you. He is telling you that because of who he is you can have a personal relationship with Almighty God and call him Father.

Lord God, Please forgive me for all the things I have done wrong. I turn to you now and turn away from all those things. Jesus, thank you for giving up your life for me on the cross. I place you at the centre of my life from this moment on. I welcome you as my Lord and Saviour and great friend. Holy Spirit fill me and empower me to live as a much-loved child of God. In Jesus' matchless and wonderful name. Amen.
