Jesus the Way, the truth, and the life. Are you on the right path?

Dear Friend,

Labour Day is a time to celebrate work and purpose, but many people still ask: What is my real purpose? Am I on the right path?

Jesus gives us a clear answer:

“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

(John 14:6, NIV)

In a world with many opinions and options, Jesus makes one bold claim: He is the only way to God, the only truth, and the only source of life.

A Journey Through Scripture: Walking in the Right Way

1. The Wrong Path: The Illusion of Many Ways

The world tells us, “Choose your own path.” But not all paths lead to life.

  • Proverbs 14:12 – “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
  • Not every road leads to God—only one does.

2. The Way Foretold: The Only Road to God

Long before Jesus came, the Bible spoke of a coming Highway of Holiness:

  • Isaiah 35:8 – “A highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness.”
  • This was a prophetic picture of Jesus, the true Way.

3. The Truth That Sets Us Free

Truth isn’t just an idea—it’s a person.

  • John 8:32 – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
  • Jesus doesn’t just teach truth—He is the truth.

4. The Life That Never Ends

The world seeks life in temporary things, but true life is only found in Christ.

  • Romans 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
  • Everything outside of Christ leads to emptiness—but in Him, we find fullness of life.

5. The Final Destination: The Everlasting Way

One day, all who follow Jesus will live with Him forever.

  • Revelation 22:14 – “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.”
  • Only those who choose His Way will enter His kingdom.

What Does This Mean for You?

This Labour Day, ask yourself:

  • Am I following Jesus as the only Way, or am I trying to find my own path?
  • Do I believe and stand on Jesus as the absolute Truth in a world full of deception?
  • Am I living in the fullness of the Life He offers, or seeking satisfaction elsewhere?

A Personal Invitation

Friend, Jesus is not one of many ways, one version of truth, and just a source of life. He is

  • the only Way,
  • the absolute Truth and 
  • the Life itself.

This month, will you walk in His way, trust in His truth, and live in His life?

May you find purpose in Him,

Eric
