John 13:36-14:14 | The Way and the Truth and the Life

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” declares Jesus in John 14:6. This verse, along with John 3:16, are among the essential verses that capture the essence of the gospel. In these words we can rightly declare that Jesus is the way one receives salvation; this we embrace as the truth that will give us life—the life that is without end… eternal life. Yet, as we look closer at this section in John’s Gospel we will see that, while these things are true, there is much more that lies at the heart of this passage that greatly impacts how we live our lives in Christ.
