Jesus is the only Way


(John 14:6) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Jesus tells us here that there is only one path that leads to God. All paths do not lead to God and heaven. Only one path does. And that path is Jesus. 
All that we need is Jesus. 
What does Jesus have in mind when he says he is the only Way? The Way is not a following of traditions or the learning of teachings about Jesus. This is not what Jesus said. The Way is Jesus himself.

The Way is a Person. The Way is to follow Jesus day by day. To follow the Way, you need to love the Lord Jesus with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The Way is to live for Jesus in everything we do. The Way is to obey the Great Commission: To go and share the Good News of Jesus Christ, the only Way, with the rest of the world. 

Jesus is the Way to the Father. He is the Way to the Father's house where he is preparing a room for us (John 14:2).

Because of his death and resurrection, Jesus is the Way of Salvation.
Through loving him, living for him and obeying him, we journey on the Way of salvation until we come home to his Father’s house.
Jesus is the Way, because he died for our sins and rose again to grant us everlasting life.
