John 14:6 records for us one of the most powerful and absolute truths in the Bible. As believers in the person of Jesus Christ, it is the foundational statement for our faith. It's what separates us from all false religions and faulty belief systems. It complete and succinctly sums up God's plan for all of mankind: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
It only makes sense that the One who can bridge the sin-induced gap between God and man is the only one who is both God and man. As the way, Jesus is the path to the Father. As the truth, he is the reality of all of God's promises. As the life, he joins his divine and everlasting life to ours--both here and now and in the future for eternity.
Christians have been criticized for being narrow-minded by claiming this fundamental promise as absolute truth but the reality is that Jesus' invitation is open and available to everyone who confesses him as Lord and Savior. Talk about all-inclusive! Let us boldly proclaim this truth to all who will hear and extend the invitation to eternal life.
