“4And you know the way to where I am going. 5Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ 6Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’” – John 14:4-7 (ESV)
Oh that Thomas, such a doubter. But aren’t we similar in that we question God regularly? I know that I do and I should know better.
Jesus is the only way to get to the Father in heaven. Through our belief in Him and our acceptance of the salvation He provides, we have been shown the way, we have access to the truth, and we are given eternal life.
“As the way, Jesus is our path to the Father. As the truth, his is the reality of all God’s promises. As the life, he joins his divine life to ours, both now and eternally.” – NIV Commentary for verse 6
We should be actively thankful for the path to the Father, reality of all God’s promises, and our union with Jesus. With each of these, we are closer each day to Him than we were just the day prior.
When you are thinking of Jesus, are you thankful for Him? Are you actively seeking the way and realizing all God’s promises? Are you aware that Jesus is “The way, the truth, and the life”?
