ON THE WAY

ON THE WAY

Wednesday, September 12, 2018

John [MKJV] 14:6  Jesus said to him [Thomas], I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.

  Jesus explained that he is the only way to the Father. (Jn.14:6) The illustrative basic meaning of which is easy to understand, but to more fully comprehend it helps to use study aids. Nave’s Topical Bible is a good one. It topically gives us placements. Using Nave’s I typed in “road” and found:

Roads

Public highways Deu_2:27

From Gibeon to Bethhoron Jos_10:10

From Bethel to Shechem Jdg_21:19

From Judea to Galilee, by way of Samaria Joh_4:3-5; Joh_4:43

To the house of God Jdg_20:31

To cities of refuge Deu_19:3

Built by rulers Num_20:17; Num_21:22

Figurative: See Highways

Highways, Figurative

Way, Figurative

Of holiness Psa_16:11; Isa_35:8-9; Jer_6:16; Hos_14:9

Jesus, the way Joh_14:6; Heb_9:8

Doctrines taught by Christ Act_9:2; Act_19:23; Act_22:4; Act_24:14; Act_24:22

  Having checked out all the verses, a simple process with e-Sword software as I only need to move cursor onto each Bible verse reference and the full verse pops up in a box. If I want to read a verse in context I simply click on it and it pops up in context in left quadrant above.

  Conclusion from this brief study: Routes always lead to a place. In the case of Jesus, only He is the route to the Father’s immutable truth and eternal life.
