John 14:1-14
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Jesus the Way to God our Father
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
If Jesus is not One with God, and God is not in Him and He is not in God then He is not the Truth, the Way, and the Life…And He would not be the Way to God…Then there is no Way to Heaven...So if what He has said is a lie, this would make Him a Liar…That would mean we do not need a Savior for our sins…And mankind is wicked and we do sin…Or to put it another way, if He is not the Truth, the Way, and the Life - then we can do what we want and not what He wants (and He wants us to repent from our sins and follow His Father)…If He has lied, then there is no forgiveness, no mercy, no justice from the One God chose to judge us on Judgment Day…With no Jesus we can be as evil as we want and sin as we want and as often as we want, because He is not our Savior from our own personal sins…And each of have our own way of doing things, we each have our own truths, and each of us has their own way of life…Without Jesus we have our own idea and concept of creating our own righteousness…So righteousness is seen in our own eyes and therefore would be as many righteousness ways as there are people on earth...And since each of us think differently, or at least a little different, there is no One Way, no One Truth, and no One Way to live Life…There would be billions of different truths, ways of life, and no Way to our Father...
Jesus is man’s best hope and Way to heaven…He is our best hope to meet His Father...He is our One Way to Truth, because He is the Truth and the Way, we live our lives…He is our Way to God, our Way to Heaven…Without Jesus we have no Grace…
