John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Jesus in this verse gives three references about Himself. Let’s take a look at them. The first thing Jesus reveals is that He is the way. The word used here refers to a means of access. Jesus is the only means of access to the Father. It is by faith in His finished work alone that we can return to the Father, and we therefore become a new creation in Christ. In coming back to the Father we can learn about who we now are as a new creation for we have found the way to receive a new spirit man within, united with God.
He is also the Truth. This word is defined as ultimate reality. In John 1:14 Jesus is described as the Word that became flesh. In John 17:17 Jesus declared that the Word is Truth. He did not say the Word is true but Truth. When we accept what the Truth says about any given situation we face in our life, what we are facing may be true, but the Truth has the ability to change what is true in the natural. When we take the Truth of God’s Word and begin to declare it over the circumstances we face, His Truth will set us free.
Finally He is the life. This refers to the divine life we can now live, doing the very things Jesus Himself did, which is living out divine life, not just a mere biological means of existence. Jesus Himself said in John 14:12, if you believe in Him, the works He did we can do also. That is living in divine life. So, through Jesus we can come to know who we are in Christ as He has provided the way for us to be born again, we can also know what we now have in Him by learning the Truth, and we can live a completely new way of life through our faith in Him. He is the way, the Truth, and the life that has made this available to all who come to Him.
