Low Hanging Fruit?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

After the events of the early part of this week, I had to think of what day it was for a moment. This week seems full already, but it is only Wednesday. So, I'll just grab a low-hanging fruit from the tree of the Word this morning...or did I? This famous verse requires a response since it begins with who said it. However, it is the quoted words our Lord Jesus spoke that make all the difference. If one believes in Jesus, then that one must believe His word. And this word in this verse allows no options. "I am," claims three singular things that are joined together; there is no 'or' allowing for any to pick and choose from among them. Also, those three things are all the thing, not a thing, allowing for no mistake between things that might appear to be the same type of the things. Whew, don't try to quote that one too fast! Then, that last sentence tells all seekers that there is a guard at the gate leading to God the Father. And this guard tells of inclusion only for those going through Him, 'no one' means no exceptions and no other ways.

Clear and simple, just as we like it!
