In the name of the Risen Lord. Amen.
Jesus
said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” For very good reasons, John 14:6
is a famous and foundational verse of Scripture. For one, it’s got three words:
way, truth, and life. Three is a good Biblical number, and it’s also easy to
remember a list of 3 things. And those words all have so much heft – we want to
go the right way, we want to know the truth, and we want to receive life. And while
a great sermon could be preached by really diving deep into each of those words
or by focusing on how Jesus is preparing a place for us to dwell with God, this
morning I want to use the passage we heard from Acts as an illustrative case
study for what it means that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
