Where Jesus Speaks – The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Day 4: I Am the Way

Scripture Focus: John 14:6

The disciples are troubled.

The cross is approaching.
Jesus has spoken of betrayal.
He has spoken of leaving.
Fear fills the room.

Thomas asks the honest question:

“Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

And Jesus responds with one of the most exclusive, powerful, and comforting statements ever spoken:

“I am the way…”

Not a way.
Not one option among many.
Not a suggestion.

The Way.

In the Old Testament, the way to God required sacrifice.
It required priests.
It required law and obedience.

But now Jesus declares that access to the Father is no longer a system — it is a Savior.

He is the bridge over sin.
He is the doorway into grace.
He is the road that leads home.

This was not just comforting — it was controversial. Because Jesus was saying there is only one path to the Father.

And that truth still stands today.

We live in a culture that says, “All roads lead to God.”
Jesus says, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

That’s not narrow-minded.
That’s merciful clarity.

If there were many ways, the cross would not have been necessary.
But because there was only one way — Jesus came Himself.

Here’s today’s truth:

You don’t find the way.
You follow the Way.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for not leaving us to wander in spiritual confusion. Thank You for being the Way to the Father. Help me walk closely with You, trusting that Your path leads to life. Amen.
