I AM: The Way (Unmatched Access)
Series: Good News to Believe
January 15, 2023
Dave Smith
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. --John 14:6 ---------- The literal definition of “way” is a path, a road, or even a journey. It is a means of getting from one place to another. It is a progression from something to something else. It is the method we need to travel to get from one point in our lives to another. ---------- Over the next three weeks, we are going to take a closer look at Jesus' claim stated in the Scripture listed above. In this first week, we will investigate Jesus' claim not to simply be a way to the Father, a step in the way to the Father, or even the best way to the Father. His claim is to be the only way… Access to the Father that is unmatched by any other person, method or means.
