The Way, the Truth, the Life/ Life of Jesus

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE

As you read and enjoy this book, try to bear in mind the primary message for you and your loved ones. Recall that Jesus Christ himself told the apostle Thomas:  "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6. 
Jesus-The Way, the Truth, the Life will help you to appreciate how Jesus definitely  is "the way."  Only through him is it possible to approach Jehovah God in prayer. Moreover,  Jesus is the way for us to be reconciled to god.  (John 16:23; Romans 5:8) Hence, only through Jesus can we have an approved relationship with God.

Jesus is "the truth."  He spoke and lived in harmony with truth; it was as if truth arrived in the person of Jesus. He fulfilled scores of prophecies, which became " 'yest' by means of him."  (2 Corinthians 1:20; John 1:14) Such prophecies help us to see his central role in the outworking of God's purpose. -Revelation 19:10.

And Jesus Christ is "the life."  By means of the ransom, his giving up his perfect life and blood, he made it possible for us to gain "the real life,"  That is, "everlasting life."  (1 Timothy 6:12, 19; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:7)  He will also prove to be "the life" for millions who have died but who will be raised to life with the prospect of living in Paradise forever. -John 5:28, 29.

All of us need to appreciate Jesus' role in God's purpose. May you enjoy learning more about Jesus-"the way the truth and the life."
