The Way, The Truth, The Life

One of Jesus' most famous statements, "I Am the way, the truth, & the life" leads us to ask some important questions of our own spiritual journeys. Many people come to faith and many leave because of crises. So, what does crisis do to our faith? If your crisis of faith leads to a confident faith it will result in a confirmed faith. One of Jesus' disciples, Thomas; his faith lead to distrust and when distrust is matured it becomes abandonment. Jesus holds up one of Herod's officials as a man of faith when he trusted that Jesus healed his son. Jesus makes some difficult claims for a modern audience; that he is the only way to salvation, that he is the source of truth, and that he is the life that holds all things together. In this one statement, Jesus claims exclusivity as the way, the truth, and the life that we all need.
