  1. Sermon • I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life • John 14:1-6

  2. 1 "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 

  3. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.4 And you know the way where I am going." 

  4. 5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" •  6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

  5. Verse 1 is an exhortation to watch over our hearts. • What we believe about Jesus will determine whether our hearts are troubled.

  6. If Jesus is not the Bread, the Light, the Door, The Shepherd, The Resurrection, The Way, the Truth and the Life, then we have reason for our hearts to be troubled.

  7. PRESENCE, PERSPECTIVE, • and PURPOSE

  8. THE WAY speaks of God’s Presence with us.

  9. JESUS SHOWS THAT THE WAY IS A PERSON. • Jesus is the way to reconciliation with the Father - Col 1:19-22 • Jesus is the way to freedom from the penalty of sin: Rom 6:23 • Jesus is THE WAY from the power of sin. 2 Cor 5:17

  10. The TRUTH speaks of a Right PERSPECTIVE

  11. The Lord descended in the cloud and stood there with him as he called upon the name of the Lord. 6 Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; Exodus 34:5-6

  12. Leaning on, believing, and renewing our minds with TRUTH is a biblical antidote to our troubled hearts.

  13. In the Gospel we see that Jesus is the truth of God revealed in a person • John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

  14. TRUTH IS A PERSON – not just a set of principles or teachings

  15. Thy Word is full of promises, • flowers of sweet fragrance, • fruit of refreshing flavor • when culled by faith.

  16. May I be made rich in its riches, • be strong in its power, • be happy in its joy, • abide in its sweetness, • feast on its preciousness, • draw vigor from its manna. • Lord, increase my faith.

  17. Jesus is THE LIFE and He is our life. • This relates to our PURPOSE

  18. For believers, Christ is our life – Col 3

  19. Jesus, who is our life, gives our lives a new purpose. • 1 Cor 6:20 • For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.

  20. We are no longer to live for ourselves and the values of this world. We are called with the privilege of being God’s children and His beloved ambassadors.

  21. Christian, does your envisioned future include a place in the Father’s house?

  22. Does knowing that we have a future in Christ, who is our life, make you any less anxious here and now?

  23. Jesus is the life and apart from him there is no life for he is the one in whom we live and move and have our being. The God who is life is the one who gives life to all things.
