Jesus Is Life: The Way, Truth, And Life
Study The Word
John 14:6
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Ponder on the audacity of this statement for a moment! Think deeply about the absoluteness of this declaration! Jesus didn’t say “I know the way to life” or “I can show you life” – He said “…I AM…the life!” Imagine. Nobody ever spoke like this, nobody ever spoke like Jesus! This goes beyond religion, beyond philosophy, beyond ordinary human understanding. This is a declaration that dramatically alters everything we thought we knew about existence itself.
When Jesus declares “I am the life”, He’s not speaking metaphorically or symbolically. He’s making a literal, absolute claim about His identity and nature. He’s saying that life itself – not just spiritual life, but all life – finds its source, its essence, its very being in Him.
όδός hodos way – road, journey, path, conduct, way of thinking
Now, notice the order of His declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He didn’t randomly arrange these attributes.
Jesus Is The Way – The Way that leads to the truth, Jesus Is The Truth – The truth that reveals the reality of life, and Jesus Is The Life – the principle source and essence of every living thing.
He IS the life that the entire world is seeking! That is Jesus, He is not a religious leader. Jesus Is Life. This means that all the searching, all the striving, all the seeking that humanity has been engaged in throughout history – whether through science, philosophy, religion, or technology – all of it has been a search for Jesus, whether they know it or not! Because Jesus is life, and every living thing is unconsciously drawn to its source.
ἀλήθεια alētheia truth – reality, fact, certainty
And here’s where it gets even more revolutionary: “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Why? Because the Father is Spirit, and you need life to approach the Spirit. You need to be alive to commune with God. And since Jesus IS life, He’s not just the pathway to God – He’s the very life that makes relationship with God possible!
This is why man, with all his technological advancement, has been unable to capture life. They’re trying to capture a Person! They’re trying to isolate Jesus in a laboratory! Haha! How can you put the Creator of the universe in a test tube? How can you capture the One who said “I am the life” and control Him with human instruments?
Think about this: every breath you take, every heartbeat, every function of your body – it’s all sustained by Jesus, who IS life. Every tree that grows, every animal that moves, every form of life that exists does so because Jesus, who is Life Himself, sustains it all.
ζωή zōē life – divine vitality, true life, divine life, God life
This is beyond normal human comprehension, it’s too big for religious Christianity that why they all over social media arguing about theology and never getting to know the Person of Jesus; and such an annoyance to some of us who encountered this Person. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit and the truth of God’s Word to grasp this.
When you born again and filled with the Holy Spirit and you begin to understand this stuff, you realize you’re not just a mere believer or mere follower Jesus “the religious leader(nonsense) – you’ll discover that you’re now a carrier of Divine Life! And, you no longer just have life; you have the One who IS life dwelling within you! Khayayayaa! Glory to God! What a life!
