Jesus is everything

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


Way, Truth, Life.


Jesus promised His disciples that He is going to the Father to prepare a place for them. And He'll come back and take them with Him. In the context, one of His disciples named Thomas asked by saying “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Take note that Jesus is not only saying He is the way but He also said He is the truth and the life. In other words, He provided not just the answer of Thomas but He added an additional information about Himself to his disciplines.

Jesus was simply helping his disciples to understand that as He is the way to the truth and to eternal life. And He is the complete answer to eternity. He is everything. In Him we can find rest for our soul.

The Way.
The is no shortcut to get to heaven. There is only one way and that is through Jesus. We just need to put our trust in Him for He already done the works (death on the cross) for us to inherit an eternal life.

The Truth.
A lot of people seeking where to find a real church, religion or sect. Come to Jesus for He is the only truth. Not in a church, religion or sect. If you have completely surrender our life to Jesus you are in the truth.

The Life.
Spiritual we are all dead due to transgressions. We don't have the direct access to God because He is Holy and Righteous. But through Jesus as the atonement sacrifice for our sins. He provided us the access to the Father. That's by trusting Him as our Lord and Savior. He mediates us to the Father.

The Son of Man

John 5: 27   And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.   Here we see Jesus relationship with the Father. How intimate it is that the Father gave him the authority to judge.  But what does "Son of Man" mean? This does not mean that Jesus was son of Joseph the husband of Mary who conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Let's read the book of   Daniel 7: 13-14  to help us understand why Jesus has this title being the "Son of Man". 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Jesus was obviously fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel when he said in...

The Road.

John 5:23 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.  Jesus statement became more not acceptable to the ears of Jewish leaders this time. Notice, He said "all may honor the Son". Not some. Therefore each and everyone must give honor to Him.  John in his little book in First John make it more dangerous. He used the word "deny" which has the same verb meaning with  disagree, renounce, decline even refuse or reject.  1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:  (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also . (KJV). But you see, how God gives us the chance? Both Jesus and John didn't stop there. They still gives options that those who honors and acknowledges the Son does the same to the Father. There is no bypass at all. Must go through Jesus always.  Let's back up a little of what John has said "whoe...

Who are the Pharisees?

John 5: 16-18 16   So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.  17   In his defense Jesus said to them,  “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”   18   For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.  It's amazing to know that God has always and would not stop working in my life. As I still have things in life that I need God's mercy to change and mold me. In spite of being not perfect, yet I have a perfect and loving God who always there for me. Lift me up in times of down and sad moments. Every single day, God through His word speaks to me and with His Holy Spirit who convicts and leads me to obey His word. I can't go on serving Him without His grace.  The powerful response of Jesus in verse 17 destructed ...
