John 14:6 | I am the Way, the Truth and the Life (Part 2)

In this second part of a two-part series on John 14:6, Pastor Matt Maloney explores the profound declaration of Jesus: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Considering "I am the Life,", the Bible refers to the word Life both in its quantity and its quality. How long is life for, and how do we have meaningful life. For many, we distract ourselves with earthly amusements and obligations rather than acknowledge our finite lives. We get caught up in how we will be remembered, rather than being fixated on God, knowing that what happens only in this life is meaningless without a focus on beyond that. In the classic scripture “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16), we see the promise in Jesus in restoration with God. Jesus can grant life as He is the source of life itself. He is the solution to death and futility, to being set free to follow Him and to live with Him.

Finally, we look at "No one comes to the Father except through me" . Because Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life, it is only through Him sharing in His glory through the cross, that we may find Eternal Life. There is nothing more urgent, more precious, more important, or of greater priority than Jesus. What better thing there is to do than to go to Him now.
