The Way

Summary: What we learn from Jesus' statement
I AM THE WAY
When your way doesn’t work for you any more…I’m the Way!
When your tired of doing your way…I’m the Way!
When your tired of the result your way is getting…I’m the Way!
In a world that is filled with many different religions and a society that wants us to believe that all are equal, it’s difficult for some to believe that there is only one way.
Are all religions equal; do all roads lead to eternal life in heaven even though
they all teach different things?
Why would Christ come and suffer such a horrible death if there were many other ways? And if there are other ways how could Jesus claim to be the only way?
His words were either truth and lead to Heaven or His words were and lie and lead to destruction.
C.S. Lewis said, “He is either Lord, a lunatic, or a liar.”
Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
I AM THE TRUTH
John 18:33-38-Pilate said, “What is Truth“? Truth was standing right in front of him, it wasn’t what the religious leaders were telling him, or what the crowd was yelling, it was everything Jesus said, everything Jesus proclaimed about Himself, It was how He lived His life, how He treated people, it was and is everything about Him!
When your tired of lying to yourself that everything is alright---I’m the Truth!
When your tired of lying to everyone else that everything is ok…I’m the Truth!
When you have realized the world has lied to you and you have not found satisfaction in anything this world has to offer…I’m the Truth!
I AM THE LIFE
When you want more than just existing…I’m the Life!
When you want your life to count for something…I’m the Life!
When you want to know what your purpose in life is about…I’m the Life!
