This Is the Way (John 14:1-11) 

The gospel is the most inclusive message in the world. The benefits of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are meant for every man, woman, and child who ever lived.  The gospel is also the most exclusive message in the world, for it maintains that salvation can only be found in one place—the person of Jesus Christ.  Pay attention to how Jesus speaks: “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Jesus doesn’t say, “I will show you the true way to eternal life.” Others could say that, but Jesus says, “I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life you crave.” And, he is not just “a” way/truth/life, but “the” way/truth/life. There is no other way than through faith in the One who died and rose again.   Offensive or not, that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, is the very truth of Scripture upon which Christ builds his Church.
