No one comes to the Father except through me.” – Jesus (John 14:6) What can you do to prepare your hearts? I would love to hear how you are preparing for Easter.“I am the way the truth and the life. Our Savior needs to be front and center in our hearts and lives, and not just during this season, but every day. It’s time to prepare for Easter, friends. It wasn’t a coincidence that the Lord laid it on my heart to blog about this verse heading into Holy Week. Jesus said these words during His last gathering with the disciples in the Upper Room.Ī significant “a-ha!” moment for me, and I hope for you, also.
Run and cling to Him, sweet friends! Holy Week is Quickly ApproachingĪs many times as I have read this verse, I have still discovered something new. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
There is absolutely no doubt in that.īecause the Bible says so, and the Bible is the truth! Listen, I do not entirely understand all the terminology regarding the Book of Revelation and the first and second comings of Christ, but what I do completely understand is this: He is coming. When that time comes, all believers will be taken from Earth to Heaven. He went ahead of us to prepare a place for us, His believers. Jesus is referring to His second coming, or the “pretribulation rapture” after His ascending into Heaven. Nothing and no one else will get us there. He is the Path, the Word of God, and the Resurrection that will lead us to eternal life with the Father. Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life. Notice that Jesus didn’t say, “I am a way, and a truth, and a life.” No one comes to the Father except through me.” “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. Jesus’ response to Thomas’s question was one of truth, love and gentleness. Yes, Lord Jesus, how can we know the way? Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. Bless his heart, Thomas spoke asked the exact same thing.
I know that I’m not the only one who has questioned what Jesus meant when He spoke those words. Thank you, Jesus, for having patience with me, and thank you to the writers of the study notes in my Bible for getting me back on track. The list could go on and on, and before I know it, I’ve spent 20 minutes going down a rabbit trail wondering what these rooms would be like. “If you know the way to where, Jesus, could you please let me know? I like to know the directions ahead of time.” What if I don’t like your decorating style?” “OK, Jesus, you prepared the room for me already. These are the questions that often pop in my mind: 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. They could see the physical side of His teaching, but when Jesus spoke figuratively, they were at a loss.įor example, in John 14:2-4, when Jesus said, “ 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. The apostles’ human way of thinking was in the literal sense. While they believed who He was, they still questioned the things that Jesus said. The men had gathered in the Upper Room, still trying to comprehend all that they had seen and heard from the One who called Himself the Messiah.
