"I Am The
Way"
John 14:6
The Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate,
crucified, risen, exalted Son of God says, "I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Christ is THE DOOR;
you cannot enter into the
Christ is THE ONLY WAY. There never has
been but one way of salvation and life, and that way is Christ. To him we must
come, trusting his blood atonement, his perfect righteousness, his heavenly
intercession, and his almighty grace as our Mediator. We must look to Christ
alone for acceptance with God (Gal. 5:1-4).
Christ is THE OLD WAY. He is the way
ordained before the foundation of the world, the way set forth in the Old
Testament Scriptures, the way by which Abel came to God,
Enoch walked with God, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, and the way by
which all the saints of all ages past have worshipped the Lord God.
Christ is THE GOOD WAY. He is the good
Shepherd and the good way. He is the covenant appointed way (Heb.
Christ is THE BEST WAY. If there had been
any possibility of any other way it could never have been accepted, because
Christ is the best way possible. He is the way which glorifies God in all his
attributes, secures the salvation of all God's elect with infallible certainty,
honors God's holy law in its entirety, gives hope to helpless sinners, and
satisfies all the demands of the believer's own conscience.
Christ is the Way. So let us WALK IN HIM,
trusting his merits, submitting to his rule, surrendering to his claims,
seeking his will, obeying his ordinances, and serving the honor of his name.
