Way, Truth, Life

  John 14: 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest ; and how can we know the way?   6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  

Jesus is the way.  It is that simple.  There is no other way to heaven.  Those that profess to believe the Bible and say there are other ways, they are denying the very basis of our salvation.  I mean think about it, if there was a way to heaven without Jesus suffering on the cross, dying and being raised again, WHY would He have done it?

There is NO REASON for Him to go to the cross if there was another way.  Anything other than Him is not truth.  You might paraphrase it like this "He is the way, that is the truth and He gave me life".  That puts it together in a nutshell.

So if it's that simple why do people try to make it so complicated?  The simple answer is satan, if he can confuse it, dilute it or discount it, you go to hell and that is his goal.  He knows he is going there and he wants to take as many with him as he can.

Our human (worldly) nature says 'anything that sounds too good to be true, it's not true- look for the catch'.  But who is that human nature controlled by?  The devil.  And his goal is to get us to hell, right?  So, of course, he is going to take something that we have learned from a human perspective and try to use it against Godly righteousness.  But he is a LIAR!

God is too good to be true, yet He is TRUTH!  His love for me and you is beyond anything our human minds can comprehend.  We will never understand this side of heaven how truly awesome He is.  We try, we think, we contemplate, we study and we just touch the tip of the iceberg.  His holiness has a depth that cannot be measured.  His love has no boundaries and it is all encompassing.  His grace is given without merit and His mercy endures forever.

I don't understand it, but I accept it!  I praise Him for it and I claim His promises.
