I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
— The Gospel of John 14:6 (NIVUK)

Jesus said:

How can I know God? How can I get to Heaven?

Well, a man called Jesus stood on this planet nearly two thousand years ago and said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one gets to Heaven, no one gets to know God, except through, through me." That's an astonishing claim!

It's exclusive - "I am THE way".

It's egotistic - "I AM the way".

Why is Jesus the only way to God, the only way to Heaven?

Well, He is the only One, who has dealt with our problem.

Heaven is pure, God is pure, our problem is sin, and Jesus says - I am THE ONLY WAY because I've dealt with the problem, I have come to give my life as a ransom for many. Jesus came and lived the perfect life on our behalf. He sat the entrance exam for Heaven in our place, He passed with flying colours, and then He died, as if He were the sinner! He took the wrath for all that we've done wrong.

How do we know it's true? His resurrection from the dead - He lived, He died, He rose again, proving Him to be God incarnate and proving that His work to take away our sin works.

Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth and the life." John 14 and verse 6.
