Jesus: The Way, the Truth and the Life


Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:17 NKJV
Pilate asked Jesus a simple question, “What is truth?” It is asked millions of times each day. Jesus said that two things were truth. God’s holy word, the Bible, is truth. Millions of people stumble and fall in their lives each day by rejecting what Jesus said is absolute truth. All who suggest that it is only partially true are wholly calling Jesus a liar. God’s word is truth. Jesus prays that we will all live in and by that word and let it sanctify us.
Jesus also said that He was the Truth. He set Himself up as the exclusive means of eternal life. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me.”  Of all the possible ways men say we can reach God, Jesus said there is only one, and that is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He alone died for our sins that we might be reconciled to the Father and He alone of all the world’s great leaders, religious or political, rose again from the dead. By this He alone can guarantee us that we too shall rise with Him unto everlasting life.

Dear Father, Thank You for showing us the way in Your Holy Word and providing us the Way through Your dear Son. Amen.  


  The Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend.  Amen
