6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus is speaking to His disciples…but what He said to them is for us too.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. His words are truth and they are life and He tells us Himself that HE IS THE WAY!
It is so simple…do you want to have peace? Do you want to know you are right with God? The Bible gives us clear direction…
3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
When we keep our mind (our thoughts) on Jesus and trust in Him…and He will bring us perfect peace.
Can you keep your mind on Him? Or do you put your mind on other things?
Do you look to other ways to get to Jesus?
The Catholic Church would have you believe that you have to go through Mary to get to Jesus; like Jesus won’t listen to you, like He’s angry with you but if you go to His mom you’ll be okay. They actually teach that Jesus can’t refuse His mother so if you go to her she will plead your case to Him. HOG WASH! That is nonsense! If you don’t go to Jesus personally, YOU’RE LOST!!!
Jesus HIMSELF says that He is the ONLY WAY!
Don’t you think if He had wanted you to go to His mother He would have made that perfectly clear in the scriptures? Everything we need to know for life and godliness is found in the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD 2 Peter 1:3. Jesus Himself said to Satan, “It is written…” What more do we need? It is man who came up with the idea that Mary is our way to Jesus…not Jesus!
Please study this for yourself…your eternal destiny is at stake. Unless you are born again you will not see the kingdom of God. When you are born again you are a new creation IN CHRIST…the old has passed away. Who I am in Christ
John 14 is one of my favorite chapters! You speak truth. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other way. If there was another way, why did he have to die? Blessings!

Exactly! Thanks Melissa.
My heart breaks right now for my family, friends and anyone who does not yet understand this. To be in darkness and yet believe you are in the light is the most heartbreaking.
I used to think I was a Christian…I used to think I was a good person. It was by His grace I was given the opportunity to accept His free gift of salvation. I came to understand the depth of my sinfulness and what He offered me. I repented of my way and asked for His forgiveness. My faith is in Christ alone. He saved me and now He is Lord of my life. Praise God. But what about those whose hearts are hardened to this truth? I’m praying for them…God open their eyes, open their ears and soften their hardened hearts!
