The Eternal Gospel

DAY 7 OF 7

Jesus is the Only Way

This powerful declaration by Jesus is the ultimate fulfilment of the promise of salvation echoed through all the Scriptures, from Genesis to Malachi. It conclusively states that the entire story of redemption points to one person and one path—Jesus.

When Jesus says, "I am the way," he reveals himself as the singular means of reconciliation between God and humanity, a way that was promised from the moment God spoke in the Garden of Eden.

As The Way, Jesus is the only authorised path to the Father, having paid the sacrifice once and for all as our Passover Lamb. His sacrifice provided the necessary forgiveness and legal exemption from condemnation that the blood of the Passover lamb foreshadowed.

As The Truth, He is the full revelation of God, and continuing in His word opens our understanding and establishes us in the experiential side of salvation. This truth is what makes us free from the grip of sin and the power of darkness.

As The Life, He is what we must "eat," or partake of, for our full salvation, just as the Israelites were commanded to eat the Passover lamb. This truth confirms that full redemption is inseparable, consisting of both forgiveness through His blood and deliverance through His life.

There is no other route, no other mediator, and no other name that brings us unto the Father.

Prayer Focus:

Lord Jesus, thank You for being the way, the truth, and the life. I wholeheartedly submit to You as my only Saviour and the exclusive path to the Father. Help me to continue in Your Word so I may walk fully in the life and freedom You purchased for me.
