Jesus is... the way, truth, and life
For three days in a row, we have looked at verses from the book of John. The apostle John, in his gospel, emphasizes who Jesus is and highlights the themes that Jesus focused on throughout His time on earth—what He modeled with the apostles and taught others.
Seven times in the book of John, we see the self-proclaimed “I AM” descriptions of Jesus. In John 14:6, in response to Thomas,
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Thomas, along with the other apostles, was looking for assurances as Jesus began to describe that He will be leaving them. I encourage you to read the entire chapter, as it broadens our understanding of Jesus: the only way to the Father, the full embodiment of truth, and the source of life—quality of life on earth and eternal life.

John 3:16 is one of the most quoted verses of the Bible. We see it on posters at sporting events and as the go-to reminder of God’s love.
The verse is possibly so well-known that it has become cliché, losing its depth of meaning and the significance of its message.
Nicodemus, “a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council,” didn’t get it. During his conversation with Jesus, late one night, Jesus points out that Nicodemus had stayed so focused on the earthly perspective that He was unable to recognize Jesus for who He was: the true manifestation of the depth of God’s love.
