The Way, The Truth, and The Life
How many ways are there? How many truths are there? How many ways are there to truly live? Is there your way and my way, or is it the way? Is it your truth and my truth, or is it the truth? Is it your life and my life, or is there a true life?
Jesus claimed there is one way, one truth, and one life, when he said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
In John’s gospel account, Jesus responded to Thomas, who said, “‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’” (John 14:5-7, ESV).
When we know Jesus, we know the way. When we know Jesus, we know the truth. When we know Jesus, we have the life of Jesus. Because Jesus is “the way, and the truth, and the life”, we have the way, the truth, and the life when we have a relationship with Jesus.
May we experience the way, the truth, and the life as we enjoy a relationship with Jesus, who is himself “the way, and the truth, and the life.”
A Collect for the Fifth Sunday of Easter: “Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
