Passage: John 14:6* Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Question Have you accepted Jesus at His word that you may have obtain a destination, truth and life through Him?   Practical help This is the last of six studies on John 14:6. Have you ever considered what Jesus meant when He said we can come to our Heavenly Father only through Him? It sort of sounds like Jesus is the gatekeeper, and He is telling us that if we want an appointment with God, we need to coordinate the visit through His office. It sounds like a common business line, "Have your people contact my people, don’t call the CEO directly." I don’t think that is the idea here at all. I believe He was thinking a little more literally. The way to God is through Jesus’ body. To become our doorway to God, Jesus knew He would pay the price with His life. John 3:16-18 says "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Porn, as you know, is an escape and an illusion. Jesus offers a way out, a truth you can live by, and a real life that will only get better with time — not even ending in death. It’s free to you but wasn’t cheap because it cost the Son of God His life. "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." — Acts 4:12. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
