Jesus is the way / John 14:6
The people of this world wanted to know what happened after the end of their life on this earth, but they were troubled because they did not know.
If there is a life after death, I tried to know that life, but I did not know.
So Confucius said, "If you can hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."
But Jesus did not teach the way.
He is the way itself, the truth, and the life.
Ahead of the Christmas when Jesus came to this world, let's receive grace by examining the words that Jesus became the way, leading to the truth and to life.
I keep the second Sunday in December as Bible Sunday, so I have to search for Jesus, the Word, through the Bible, receive grace, and stand in the place of grace to love and be close to the Word.
1. Jesus is the way.
1) Two paths ahead in life.
Matthew 7:13,14 “Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and many go in by it, and the gate is narrow and stray that leads to life, and few find it.”
Deuteronomy 30:15,16 "Behold, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil, that I command you today to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and decrees and decrees. You will live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are going to acquire.”
2) Jesus is the way.
G. The words of Jesus are the way.
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life."
N. Jesus' physical death is the way.
Heb 10:19,20 "Brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way that he opened for us through the veil, which is his flesh."
c. Jesus Himself is the way.
John 11:25,26 "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life."
3) The way to depart from Jesus is the way of sin and the way of death.
John 13:30 "Judas received the piece, and went out as soon as it was night."
Acts 1:25 "Judah has forsaken it and has gone to his own place."
2. Jesus is the truth.
1) Jesus was the Word in the beginning.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
2) Jesus is the Word who created the heavens and the earth.
John 1:3 "All things were made through him, and nothing was created without him."
Colossians 1:16 "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities, all things were created through him and for him."
3) Jesus is the truth.
John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
3. Jesus is the life.
1) Jesus gives life to the dead.
Ephesians 2:1 "He made you, who were dead in your trespasses and sins,"
John 20:31 "But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God? And that, by believing, you may have life in His name."
2) Jesus who gives life through the Word.
John 6:63 "It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is of no avail.
John 6:68 "Simon Peter answered, "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
John 12:50 "I know that his commandment is eternal life; therefore what I speak, I speak just as my Father has spoken to me."
3) Jesus, who is life, gives life through Himself.
G. Jesus is life.
1 John 1:2 "This life was made manifest, and we have seen and testify of this eternal life, and we declare it to you that he was with the Father and was made manifest to us."
N. Jesus who gives life because he has it.
a. You have life by believing in Jesus.
John 6:40 "For my Father's will is that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
b. Knowing Jesus is life.
John 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
c. Cow Jesus! Because you are alive, you get life.
1 John 5:12 "He who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life."
c. Jesus who gives life by dying.
John 6:54 "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
Conclusion) If you believe the words of Jesus, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” then follow Jesus as the way and go there, but by following the truth, the law that leads the way, you have life, and you must come to the Father and live the blessed life of eternal life. I will
This is the hope and reality of the saints. “This is so that through him we both may have access to the Father in one Spirit” (Ephesians 2:18) is what we need to fulfill. Realizing that Jesus who came to us wants to take us to the Father's kingdom, let's obey Jesus' teachings.
So, we should all go to the kingdom of the Father where Jesus is waiting, the kingdom of heaven, and enjoy eternal life. Through Jesus, we should be able to become believers who follow the word according to the word, overcome the world, and enjoy the life promised in the word.
Be the way and the truth! I pray in the name of the Lord that you may become saints who enjoy peace on earth through Jesus, who has been resurrected and give life, and that you will go to the kingdom of God the Father and enjoy eternal rest and peace.
