He is the Way, the Truth and the Life
John 14:6 is a very familiar passage to the believer. It’s fundamental to a a believer’s salvation, especially the last part:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. – John 14:6
This passage teaches both the exclusiveness of the message—Christ is the only way—but it also teaches something about Jesus—about who He is.

When to Let the Truth Come Out
This Thanksgiving a debate ensued around the dinner table. It wasn’t
politics, religion, or how much turkey one had eaten, but whether or
not DOC
was ending for the season or the series. My parents and I knew it
would be series finale, and the grandparents thought it was the season,
and that it’d be back next year. It turns out that my information was
correct, but that raises the bigger issue.
As humans were
very quick to defend ourselves– either because we believe we’re right
or because we’re afraid of ridicule. How much of this is Christlike,
though?
We know that God said that vengence is His,
and yet we are quick to avenge ourselves. What about the things we
know to be fact– should we spend all of our time defending ourselves?
That would seem to be against the humitily of Christ and denial of self
to follow Him. Since it is self that causes us to confront, denying
myself would cause me not to be concerned about what others think of me.
Now, if the issue is about Christ or others, I can see why you should
defend Christ– but even then we must realize that like the show that
was talked about at Thanksgiving, the truth will come out. If you know
the truth, and you’re walking in the truth, do not care what men may
say to you, but let Christ prove you right.
