The Only Way to Come to The Father

Jesus, the only Son of God, spoke these words about Himself in John 14:6… “ I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

When asked, “What does it mean to come to the Father?” Martin Luther gave this answer:

“It means nothing else but to come from death to life, from sin and condemnation to innocence and godliness, from distress and sorrow to eternal joy and blessedness.”

Basically, Jesus said, “There is no other way that we can come to the Father!” He alone is The Way — our Way back to the blessedness of the Father’s Holy Presence. 

And here is more good news, because Jesus is The Way, our desperate search is over. For while we have no other way back to the the Father and His favor, we also need no other way. Jesus is our True Way back to Life everlasting. All other routes are only dead ends. 

With gladness.
