The Way

(1) “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. (2) There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.  If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?  (3) When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. (4) And you know the way to where I am going.” (5) “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” (6) Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. (7) If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.  From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” 

a. the way– (MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

the way is narrow–

(24) “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. 
Luke 13:24 – NLT

(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

John 10:9a (ESV) 
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved.

(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

Matthew 7:13–14 (NLT) 
13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. 

what is the reason that “few ever find it” is it because they didn’t look hard enough or study enough of the worlds religions, is it because they didn’t try hard enough to find the answers? no. none of that. it is because they refuse to accept the truth that is right in front of them, what is the truth? the truth is not a what but a Who. JESUS IS THE TRUTH

b. the truth-(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

(37) Pilate said, “So you are a king? ”Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.” 
John 18:37 – NLT

(3) If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. (4) Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 – NLT(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

c. The Life(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

-My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 
Galatians 2:20 – NLT(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
