Only One Way...Period.

Verse of the day: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

So many ways, so many truths...that is the mindset of the world. Many gods, and "what is true for me is not always what is true for you". We, the children of God, the born again followers of Jesus, know the True Way. In this chapter, Jesus has just told the disciples that He was going to prepare a place for them, in Heaven, with the Father. The disciples then question Him about the way there, and ask Him to show them the Father. Jesus' answer was straightforward, and to the point, yet they still misunderstood, proving that all our earthly knowledge can still leave us ignorant in respect to heavenly matters. Jesus communicated to them that He was the only Way to the Father, and that a true knowledge of Him was the only way to truly know the Father. Jesus is the only access we have to the Father, and having access to the Father is having access to Heaven. Jesus is the way to the Truth, for there is only one Truth. Jesus words, and way of living (His example), is truth. The Word of God is truth. Someone said, "There are two answers to every question, God's, and everyone else's. When they disagree, everyone else is wrong." Why? Because there is only one Truth...Jesus. He told them that He was the Life. Jesus is not only the Way to the Father, and to the Truth, He is the only Way to eternal life; for there is no other Name by which man can be saved. He, Jesus, is the only source to life more abundant. We can try to substitute Jesus with many things that the world tells us will allow us to live life more abundantly, but all that this world offers leaves us empty, wanting, and often enslaves us. Today, if you do not know Jesus, call on Him, for He is the only Way to our Heavenly Father, and to Heaven. If you already know Him, then seek Him as the only Truth. Search the Word of God, which contains the only truth that exists, and live it. Finally, let us put aside the vain, and empty, substitutes, and surrender our lives to the One who is Life, and gives it more abundantly. He truly is the Way, the Truth, the Life. There is absolutely no other way to our Heavenly Father, except Jesus, our Savior and Lord.
