“Jesus Is _” John 14:6 (NLT) “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:5 (NLT) “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going, so how can we know the way?” What does it mean that Jesus is the Way? • Jesus Is the Way – It’s About a Relationship, Not Religion John 14:6 (NLT) “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Religion says, “Here’s what you need to do to get to God.” Jesus says, “Here’s what I’ve done to bring God to you.” Romans 5:8 (NLT) “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” • Jesus Is the Way- Through Life Psalm 23:4 (NLT) “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT): “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” • Jesus Is the Way- To Find Purpose John 14:6 (NLT) “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Without Jesus, purpose can get hijacked by performance.
