I AM The Way
This is in response to Thomas’ question in verse 5,
This is in response to Thomas’ question in verse 5,
“No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
• Not a very ‘inclusive’ statement.
• ‘You Christians say yours is the only way. Very intolerant!’
- No… we don’t say that. We say Jesus said that. Your problem is with
Him.
• My question is, “Why NOT Jesus?” What fault do you find in Him?
• Jonathan Edwards - Is God obliged, because you do not like this Saviour, to provide you another?
• Steve Jobs – “different doors to the same house. Sometimes I’m not even sure there is a house.” That’s usually the way it is with those who take this position.
• It’s like me saying, “I’m married to many people.” You would say, “Well then, you’re not married to anyone.” And you would be right. You have to choose. I choose Jesus! He is the Way!
Christians were not first called Christians. They were called People of the Way. Outsiders could ‘see’ their faith. Can people see your faith?
I AM The Truth
Notice, Jesus did not say, “I speak the truth”, though He certainly does that.

I AM The Truth
Notice, Jesus did not say, “I speak the truth”, though He certainly does that.
He didn’t just speak about purity, He modeled it.
He didn’t just speak about healing, He healed!
He didn’t just speak about love, He loved, and gave Himself for us.
Jesus wants us to know He is more than a way to heaven, He brings an entire values system to us.

I AM The Life
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Those of us who know God, know that, like no one else, He brings life – energy, motivation, vision.
Here Jesus is reinforcing some of His earlier “I AM” statements – the Bread of Life, the Vine… where He is telling us He is our Source.
We don’t just live FOR God, we live FROM God!
Passover word
Jesus is more than a way to heaven, and a new value system. Without this third expression of Jesus, we can become lifeless religious people.
He is our source of life.
Is Is He your way, your truth, your life?
There is nothing like knowing you’re on your way to heaven! It changes everything. The Bible says to be relieved from the fear of death is to be relieved of all fears!
This current crisis has shown our nation how vulnerable and out of control of our own destiny we are. This may have become your realization as well.
If have not let Jesus become your way, your truth, and your life, now is the time.
