“Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:5-6)

I don’t know about you but I’ve become pretty reliant on the satellite navigation system. Even the simple, familiar routes are now accompanied by the technology in fear of getting my journey wrong! No sat nav can help us journey through life and reach our ultimate destination but Jesus clearly states that in Him we can find the way. Let us consider His three claims in John 14:6. First, He is the way. The One in whom we can find direction and guidance for not only our ultimate, eternal destination but the journey of life. With prayer, the reading of His word, listening and hearing His still small voice we can know the way. Second, He is truth. The One who does not mislead or lie, who has complete integrity and is 100% trustworthy. He is truth itself and will set us free (John 8:32). We must imitate Him, being people of the truth in a world where it is so lacking. Third, He is the life. This is why Jesus came, so that all who believe and trust in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Thanks to His death and resurrection, this life is available to us all for eternity! But also today, as the very presence of God lives within us as we walk this early life. Who is Jesus? Is He the way and the truth and the life? Is He the only way to the Father? Believe in Jesus as you also believe in God and may He lead us all to the way that is everlasting.
