The way the truth and the life

"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6

There was a huge abyss between humanity and God, because of sin. There was no way for anybody to come to God for thousands of year. God Himself decided to make a way. And He did. It was His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a human and took our sins upon Himself that sin would no longer hinder us to come to God. And Jesus still is the only way. It may sound like a disappointment for many. However, no other religion, spiritual practice, your own beliefs, positive thinking, or whatever else that comes to mind as a way to God. 

He is the truth. He is the truth about our existence, God's purpose for us, the way of living, how we become right with God, and anything that we learn about God. Only Jesus can tell us the truth about God. All the other teachers who might teach you truths regarding God outside of Jesus Christ are actually telling you lies. 

He is the life. There is no real life outside of Christ but simple existence. Spiritual death reigns in the hearts of everyone who hasn't reconciled himself to God through Christ. Sure, we all eat, drink, sleep, go to school or work, maybe even try to be religious, or occupy ourselves with many other activities. However, without Jesus, we remain separated from God. This kind of life the Bible calls spiritual death. 

Fortunately, we do not have to stay in spiritual death. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Let's go to Him. The Easter is an excellent day to do that. On this day, Jesus finished building the road for you to God. Seconds before He died, He cried "It is finished" (John 19:30). The road to the Father is open. You can walk on it straight to God. Ask Him to forgive everything that you did wrong in your life and accept His forgiveness. God bless you. I pray you celebrate the Easter with Jesus in your heart.
