14 John – The Way the Truth and the Life

By Richard

Jesus makes this amazing claim that he is the way, the truth and the life. People get upset about the exclusiveness of the claim. “Don’t all roads lead to God” they exclaim. Maybe! But, Jesus goes on to tell the disciples that if they have seen Jesus they’ve seen God. Jesus equals God. When it comes to God, Jesus is both the journey and the destination. Jesus doesn’t claim to be solely a prophet or a good teacher. He says that he is God. If Jesus is God then he can make the exclusive claim. In addition, if all religions somehow lead towards God then the will, eventually, lead to Jesus.
