The Only Way

In John 14:6 Jesus makes a statement, saying:

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Each of the three essence claims is preceded by the definite article – the word “the”

In Greek, as in English, the definite article denotes specificity, and In cases such as this – exclusivity.

Jesus is making the specific and exclusive claim to be the only way, the only truth, and the only life.

Notice:
      Jesus Doesn’t show the way…He IS the way

      Jesus Doesn’t know the Truth…He IS the truth

      Jesus Doesn’t have the life…He IS the life

This verse closes with Jesus’ claim to be the only access point to God the Father.  Jesus is not just a good teacher to heed and obey…

He is the Savior, Whom we can know personally through faith in His sacrifice for us.
