Jun 6, 2021The Way The Truth The Life – John 14:1-6
Jesus makes exclusive claims, and our pluralistic society can't handle the truth. No other savior will do for the problems of life, and Jesus doesn’t point His disciples (or us) to some guru, or to a variety of ways. No, He boldly, unapologetically points to Himself. He is not A way among many, or ONE truth among other options, or A source for experiencing life. No, Jesus says that He is THE exclusive way to God, THE absolute embodiment of truth, and THE very source of all life.
Pastor Brian preaches this from John 14:1-6
