There are so many references throughout scripture that proclaim Jesus to be the way to God. The only reason people don’t know this is because they don’t read their Bible. Back in Genesis, Jacob saw a pathway to Heaven in Chapter 28. Jesus told His disciples about it in John chapter 1. Numerous times throughout scripture, Jesus either proclaims Himself to be God, or others proclaim it for Him. Everyone knows John 14:6, Jesus answers Thomas’ question to show him the way, by telling him that He is the way, truth, and life. And that NO ONE comes to the Father but by Him. What’s the difference from that scripture verse and this one (see below)? If Jesus says He is the stairway between Heaven and earth, what confusion is left to keep someone from believing He is God? He either is correct, or He’s a pretender and a liar. What other religious figure in history, of the remaining world religions, claimed to be God? Which one ever said that they (meaning a person) are the only way to God. The reason Jesus says He’s the only way to God, is because He is God. He knows the way to Himself because He wrote the rules. He established the method to redeem mankind, and yet millions refuse to journey on that path. They make up excuses, or they purposely bad-mouth God and go out of their way to prevent others from coming to Him. All because they refuse to accept the Way, The Truth, and The Life. Not because it isn’t real, rather because they refuse to submit their pride for the sake of God’s love. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord someday. I’m just so glad God opened my eyes and heart to the truth. I will gladly bow down and serve Him now. And I will have zero regrets when I meet Him face to face.
45 Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.”46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied.47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel–a man of complete integrity.”48 “How do You know about me?” Nathanael asked.Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.”49 Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God–the King of Israel!”50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51 Then He said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the One who is the stairway between heaven and earth.”
John 1:45-51
