S – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 

Johnn 14:6 ESV

O – Commentary:

Jesus’ words, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, are the sixth of Jesus’ seven “I am” statements in the Gospel of John (6:48; 8:12; 10:9, 11; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1). Jesus is the “Way” because He is the “Truth” and the “Life.” As the Father is Truth and Life, Jesus is the embodiment of God so people can come to the Father (cf. 1:4, 14, 18; 11:25). By His words, No one comes to the Father except through Me, Jesus stressed that salvation, contrary to what many people think, is not obtainable through many ways. Only one Way exists (cf. Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus is the only access to the Father because He is the only One from the Father

A – There are many “gods” in this world.  God stands alone as the one, true God above all of them.  He is who He says He is. Jesus was the bridge to Him by coming to earth in the form of a man who was fully God and fully man.  We must accept Jesus as the Son of God to know God the Father.  To some, this sounds very narrow and restricting.  To me, this is simple and inviting to all people and in a way that anyone can make that decision.

R –  Heavenly Father, you are the One, True God.  Thank you for giving us access to you through Jesus your Son.  We accept him as God in the form of man who died for our sins on the cross.  We accept salvation through Him so we can have a relationship with you.  Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides and helps us each day.
