In John 14:6 Jesus makes a statement, saying:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Each of the three essence claims is preceded by the definite article – the Word “the”
In Greek, as in English, the definite article denotes specificity, and In cases such as this – exclusivity
Jesus is making specific and exclusive claim to be the only way, the only truth and the only life.
Notice:
Jesus Doesn’t show the way…He IS the way
Jesus Doesn’t know the Truth…He IS the truth
Jesus Doesn’t have the life…He IS the life
This verse closes with Jesus’ claim to be the only access point to God the Father.
Jesus is not just a good teacher to heed and obey…
He is the Savior, Whom we can know personally through faith in His sacrifice for us.
