Speaker 1: What if the doubts you've had about Jesus could be
0:02
Speaker 1: erased by understanding this one statement. I am the Way,
0:07
Speaker 1: the Truth, and the life. No one comes to the
0:09
Speaker 1: Father except through me John fourteen six. This is not
0:16
Speaker 1: just another religious teaching. This is the most powerful claim
0:20
Speaker 1: in history. No other religious leader, Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius, or
0:25
Speaker 1: anyone else has ever dared to say what Jesus said.
0:28
Speaker 1: They all pointed to a way, but Jesus said he
0:32
Speaker 1: is the way. They all sought after truth, but Jesus
0:36
Speaker 1: said he is the truth. They all tried to explain life,
0:40
Speaker 1: but Jesus said he is the life. Think about that
0:45
Speaker 1: for a moment. If this statement is true, then every
0:48
Speaker 1: other worldview collapses. If Jesus is the only way to God,
0:52
Speaker 1: then every other road leads to destruction. If he is
0:56
Speaker 1: the ultimate truth, then everything else is deception. And if
1:00
Speaker 1: he alone is the source of life, then apart from him,
1:04
Speaker 1: there is only death. That is why this claim is
1:07
Speaker 1: so controversial. It is why Christianity is so hated even
1:12
Speaker 1: to day. We live in a world that says your
1:15
Speaker 1: truth is your truth, my truth is my truth. But
1:20
Speaker 1: Jesus did not leave room for personal interpretations. He did
1:24
Speaker 1: not say follow whatever makes you happy. He declared something absolute,
1:30
Speaker 1: something unchangeable. He drew a line in the sand. And
1:34
Speaker 1: here's the real question. Are you on the right side
1:37
Speaker 1: of that line? Right now? You might be struggling with
1:40
Speaker 1: doubts about faith. Maybe you've been told that all religions
1:45
Speaker 1: lead to the same God. Or maybe you've been chasing success, relationships, money,
1:51
Speaker 1: or approval, only to find that none of it truly satisfies.
1:54
Speaker 1: But what if you've been searching in all the wrong places.
1:58
Speaker 1: What if Jesus words in John four eighteen six are
2:01
Speaker 1: the key you've been missing all along, Because by the
2:04
Speaker 1: end of this video, you will not only understand what
2:08
Speaker 1: Jesus meant when he said I Am the Way, the Truth,
2:12
Speaker 1: and the Life, you will have the opportunity to make
2:16
Speaker 1: a decision that will change your life forever. We have
2:20
Speaker 1: created in depth explanation videos for every book of the
2:23
Speaker 1: Bible to help you go deeper in your faith. Each
2:27
Speaker 1: Deep Bible Stories video is designed to break down scripture
2:32
Speaker 1: in a way that is simple, clear, and deeply impactful.
2:36
Speaker 1: We also have ebooks on our website for some of
2:39
Speaker 1: our most popular videos. If you'd like this video, to
2:42
Speaker 1: be turned into an ebook. Let us know in the comments,
2:46
Speaker 1: and if this video challenges the way you think about Jesus,
2:50
Speaker 1: like and share it because someone you know might need
2:54
Speaker 1: this truth more than you realize. With that being said,
2:58
Speaker 1: let's get started. The room was heavy with emotion. Jesus
3:03
Speaker 1: had just told his disciples that he was going away,
3:07
Speaker 1: and where he was going they could not follow, at
3:10
Speaker 1: least not yet. The atmosphere was thick with confusion, fear,
3:14
Speaker 1: and uncertainty. These men had left everything to follow him.
3:19
Speaker 1: They had seen his miracles, listened to his teachings, and
3:23
Speaker 1: believed that he was the promised Messiah. But now he
3:27
Speaker 1: was talking about leaving, about betrayal, about his own death.
3:32
Speaker 1: This was not what they had expected. Peter, always the
3:37
Speaker 1: bold one, had just asked, Lord, where are you going?
3:42
Speaker 1: John thirteen thirty six, And when Jesus told him where
3:46
Speaker 1: I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will
3:49
Speaker 1: follow later, Peter insisted, Lord, why can't I follow you now?
3:55
Speaker 1: I will lay down my life for you, John thirteen
3:59
Speaker 1: thirty seven. But Jesus, knowing what was to come, told
4:04
Speaker 1: Peter that before the rooster crode he would deny him
4:07
Speaker 1: three times. The disciples were shaken. Their entire world was
4:12
Speaker 1: being turned upside down. If Jesus was leaving, what would
4:16
Speaker 1: happen to them had they misunderstood his mission? Was this
4:20
Speaker 1: the end? And it was in this moment, this moment
4:24
Speaker 1: of doubt, fear, and confusion, that Jesus spoke the words
4:28
Speaker 1: that would become one of the most powerful declarations in
4:31
Speaker 1: all of history. Do not let your hearts be troubled.
4:35
Speaker 1: You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's
4:41
Speaker 1: house has many rooms. If that were not so, would
4:44
Speaker 1: I have told you that I am going there to
4:47
Speaker 1: prepare a place for you. And if I go and
4:50
Speaker 1: prepare a place for you, I will come back and
4:51
Speaker 1: take you to be with me, that you also may
4:54
Speaker 1: be where I am John fourteen one to three. Jesus
4:59
Speaker 1: was not abandoning them, He was preparing something greater. He
5:03
Speaker 1: was not just going away. He was making a way.
5:07
Speaker 1: But Thomas, always the one to voice his concerns, spoke up, Lord,
5:12
Speaker 1: we don't know where you are going, so how can
5:15
Speaker 1: we know the way? John fourteen five. And that's when
5:20
Speaker 1: Jesus said it, I am the Way, the Truth, and
5:23
Speaker 1: the life. No one comes to the Father except through
5:26
Speaker 1: me John fourteen six. This was not just an answer
5:31
Speaker 1: to Thomas's question, It was a declaration that changed everything.
5:36
Speaker 1: Jesus was not offering a road map, a set of instructions,
5:40
Speaker 1: or a philosophy. He was saying that he is the way,
5:44
Speaker 1: that he is the truth, that he is the life.
5:49
Speaker 1: For the disciples, this was both comforting and radical. Comforting
5:53
Speaker 1: because they didn't need to fear being lost. Jesus himself
5:58
Speaker 1: was their path. Radical because this statement went against everything
6:03
Speaker 1: their religious world had taught them. For centuries, the Jewish
6:07
Speaker 1: people had believed that following the law was the way
6:10
Speaker 1: to God, that keeping commandments, offering sacrifices, and following religious
6:16
Speaker 1: rituals was the path to righteousness. But now Jesus was
6:22
Speaker 1: saying that the way was not through a system, but
6:24
Speaker 1: through a person, through him, and that same challenge exists today.
6:30
Speaker 1: People look for the way in different places religion, success, relationships,
6:35
Speaker 1: self discovery, but Jesus says I am the way. People
6:41
Speaker 1: search for truth in science, philosophy, and personal experiences, but
6:46
Speaker 1: Jesus says I am the truth. People chase after life
6:51
Speaker 1: in wealth, pleasure, and achievements. But Jesus says I am
6:55
Speaker 1: the life. It was a radical claim then, and it
6:59
Speaker 1: is a radical claim now because if Jesus is the way,
7:04
Speaker 1: then every other way is false. If he is the truth,
7:08
Speaker 1: then every other belief is deception. If he is the life,
7:13
Speaker 1: then apart from him there is only death. And here's
7:17
Speaker 1: the question. Have you truly embraced this? Are you still
7:20
Speaker 1: searching for another way? Are you still questioning whether Jesus
7:24
Speaker 1: is really the only truth? Are you still trying to
7:28
Speaker 1: find fulfillment in things that cannot give you real life?
7:32
Speaker 1: Thomas question still lingers, Lord, we don't know where you
7:35
Speaker 1: are going, so how can we know the way? John
7:39
Speaker 1: fourteen five, And Jesus' response was clear, absolute and unshakable.
7:44
Speaker 1: I am the way, not away, not one of many paths,
7:50
Speaker 1: the way. This was not just an answer to Thomas's uncertainty.
7:54
Speaker 1: It was a direct rejection of every man made attempt
7:58
Speaker 1: to reach God. It was a statement so bold, so exclusive,
8:02
Speaker 1: that it would forever separate Jesus from every other religious teacher, prophet,
8:07
Speaker 1: or philosopher in history. Because if Jesus is the only way,
8:12
Speaker 1: then every other way is false. This is where people
8:16
Speaker 1: struggle in a world that loves options, the idea of
8:20
Speaker 1: one way sounds offensive. Society tells us that truth is personal,
8:25
Speaker 1: that spirituality is whatever you make it, that all roads
8:29
Speaker 1: eventually lead to God. But Jesus did not leave that
8:32
Speaker 1: option open. He did not say, follow your heart and
8:35
Speaker 1: you'll find God. He did not say all religions teach
8:40
Speaker 1: the same thing in different ways. He did not say,
8:44
Speaker 1: be a good person and you'll get to Heaven. He said,
8:49
Speaker 1: no one comes to the Father except through me. This
8:52
Speaker 1: is the foundation of Christianity. It is the dividing line
8:56
Speaker 1: between the Gospel and every other belief system in the
8:59
Speaker 1: world world because every other religion, philosophy, or human effort
9:05
Speaker 1: tells you to find your own way to God. But
9:08
Speaker 1: Jesus says, I am the way. This was not a
9:15
Speaker 1: new struggle. From the beginning. People have tried to create
9:18
Speaker 1: their own way. Adam and Eve thought they could find
9:21
Speaker 1: wisdom apart from God by eating the forbidden fruit Genesis three. Instead,
9:28
Speaker 1: they found separation. Cain thought he could approach God on
9:33
Speaker 1: his own terms, offering a sacrifice that was based on
9:36
Speaker 1: his own efforts rather than God's command Genesis four. But
9:40
Speaker 1: God rejected his offering. The people of Babel believed they
9:45
Speaker 1: could reach heaven by building a tower with their own
9:48
Speaker 1: strength Genesis eleven, but God scattered them. Pharaoh thought he
9:53
Speaker 1: could ignore God's authority and do things his way, but
9:57
Speaker 1: his refusal to submit led to them the plagues, the
10:01
Speaker 1: destruction of Egypt, and his own death in the Red
10:04
Speaker 1: Sea Exodus fourteen. The pattern is the same throughout scripture.
10:10
Speaker 1: Every time people try to create their own way, it
10:13
Speaker 1: leads to destruction, and yet people still try today. Some
10:18
Speaker 1: try to earn their way to heaven through good works,
10:21
Speaker 1: thinking that if they just do enough good, they'll be
10:24
Speaker 1: accepted by God. Some try to find their own path
10:28
Speaker 1: through spiritual enlightenment, following different religions, philosophies, or self help
10:33
Speaker 1: methods to discover their own truth. Some try to build
10:37
Speaker 1: their own way by relying on success, money, relationships, or
10:41
Speaker 1: personal achievements to give them meaning and purpose. But Jesus
10:45
Speaker 1: makes it clear there is only one way, and that's
10:49
Speaker 1: what makes Christianity different. Every other religion teaches a system,
10:54
Speaker 1: a list of rules, rituals, and efforts to reach God,
10:58
Speaker 1: but Christianity teaches relationship a savior who came down to
11:03
Speaker 1: us because we could never reach God on our own.
11:06
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't come to show us the way he is.
11:09
Speaker 1: The way. He didn't come to give us instructions to follow.
11:13
Speaker 1: He came to be the bridge between us and God.
11:17
Speaker 1: And this is what the world needs to hear today,
11:20
Speaker 1: because there are so many people searching for a way.
11:23
Speaker 1: They're lost in confusion, chasing after things that don't satisfy,
11:27
Speaker 1: following paths that lead nowhere. They're exhausted, trying to be
11:32
Speaker 1: good enough, trying to find peace in things that were
11:35
Speaker 1: never meant to save them. And maybe you're one of them.
11:38
Speaker 1: Maybe you've been trying to figure out your own way
11:40
Speaker 1: to God. Maybe you've been relying on your own strength,
11:44
Speaker 1: your own goodness, your own wisdom to fix your life.
11:47
Speaker 1: But here's the truth, there is no other way. Your
11:50
Speaker 1: own effort will never be enough. Religion without Jesus will
11:54
Speaker 1: never save you. Good intentions, good works, and good morals
11:59
Speaker 1: will never bridge them gap between you and God. Only
12:03
Speaker 1: Jesus can. And that's why this statement is not just theology.
12:07
Speaker 1: It's personal. Are you following the way or are you
12:10
Speaker 1: still searching for your own? Have you truly surrendered to
12:14
Speaker 1: Jesus or are you still trying to do things your way?
12:18
Speaker 1: The world today is built on shifting sand. People say
12:22
Speaker 1: truth is whatever you make it. Live your truth, follow
12:25
Speaker 1: your heart. Society promotes the idea that truth is flexible,
12:30
Speaker 1: that what's true for one person may not be true
12:33
Speaker 1: for another. But Jesus didn't say I know the truth
12:36
Speaker 1: or I teach the truth. He said I am the truth.
12:41
Speaker 1: This statement alone separates Christianity from every other belief system
12:45
Speaker 1: in the world. It means truth is not an idea,
12:49
Speaker 1: a philosophy, or a personal perspective. Truth is a person,
12:55
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, and that changes everything because if Jesus is
12:59
Speaker 1: the truth, then anything apart from him is a lie.
13:04
Speaker 1: This is exactly why the world rejects him. The idea
13:08
Speaker 1: of absolute truth is offensive in a culture that worships
13:12
Speaker 1: personal freedom and self made morality. The world doesn't want
13:15
Speaker 1: a single truth. It wants options. It wants to pick
13:19
Speaker 1: and choose to craft its own version of God, faith,
13:22
Speaker 1: and reality. But truth doesn't bend to opinions. Truth doesn't
13:26
Speaker 1: change based on feelings. Truth doesn't adjust to what's popular.
13:31
Speaker 1: Truth is, and Jesus declared that he is that unshakable,
13:35
Speaker 1: eternal truth. Throughout history, people have fallen into the same
13:40
Speaker 1: trap of rejecting God's truth in favor of deception. It
13:44
Speaker 1: started in the Garden of Eden, when Satan's first attack
13:48
Speaker 1: on humanity was not with force, but with a lie.
13:52
Speaker 1: Did God really say er Genesis three one. That single
13:59
Speaker 1: question the beginning of all human rebellion. It planted the
14:02
Speaker 1: idea that maybe truth wasn't fixed, maybe truth was open
14:06
Speaker 1: to interpretation, maybe what God said wasn't the only way,
14:10
Speaker 1: and that same deception continues today. Satan blinds people by
14:15
Speaker 1: convincing them that truth is whatever they decided to be,
14:19
Speaker 1: that all religions lead to the same God, that sin
14:23
Speaker 1: isn't really sin, that God's word is outdated, oppressive, or
14:27
Speaker 1: just one voice among many. But Jesus made it clear
14:31
Speaker 1: there is no other truth outside of him. Sanctify them
14:35
Speaker 1: by the truth. Your word is truth, John seventeen seventeen.
14:40
Speaker 1: God's word is not just true, it is truth. That
14:44
Speaker 1: means if something contradicts his word, it's not just another perspective,
14:48
Speaker 1: its deception. Think about the world we live in today.
14:53
Speaker 1: People reject biblical truth because it makes them uncomfortable. They
14:57
Speaker 1: redefine marriage, gen morality, and even faith itself to fit
15:03
Speaker 1: their desires. But Jesus didn't come to make people comfortable.
15:08
Speaker 1: He came to set people free, and freedom only comes
15:12
Speaker 1: through the truth. Then you will know the truth, and
15:16
Speaker 1: the truth will set you free John eight thirty two.
15:20
Speaker 1: This is why Jesus is so different from every other teacher, prophet,
15:25
Speaker 1: or religious leader. Every other leader pointed to a set
15:28
Speaker 1: of beliefs, rules, or philosophies, but Jesus pointed to himself,
15:34
Speaker 1: I am the truth. This means that if you want
15:38
Speaker 1: to know what is real, what is right, and what
15:41
Speaker 1: is eternal, you don't look to culture, emotions, or human reasoning.
15:46
Speaker 1: You look to Jesus. So the real question is who
15:50
Speaker 1: is shaping your beliefs? So are you being influenced by
15:53
Speaker 1: what the world says? Are you allowing society, media, or
15:57
Speaker 1: even your own emotions to defy what's true? Or are
16:02
Speaker 1: you anchored in the unshakable truth of Christ. Because the
16:06
Speaker 1: battle for truth is not just happening in the world,
16:09
Speaker 1: It's happening in your mind, your heart, and your soul.
16:14
Speaker 1: Satan's greatest weapon is deception, and deception always looks appealing
16:18
Speaker 1: at first. It sounds reasonable, it feels easier, it plays
16:22
Speaker 1: to your desires, but it leads to destruction. That's why
16:26
Speaker 1: Following Jesus means rejecting the lies that go against him.
16:31
Speaker 1: It means standing firm when the world calls you narrow minded.
16:34
Speaker 1: It means choosing to believe what God says over what
16:38
Speaker 1: culture says. Jesus is not a truth. He is the truth,
16:43
Speaker 1: and if you want to walk in freedom, clarity, and confidence,
16:47
Speaker 1: you have to align your life with him. So let
16:50
Speaker 1: me ask you, are you standing on the truth of
16:53
Speaker 1: Jesus or are you being swayed by the lies of
16:56
Speaker 1: the world. Are you letting culture define what's right? Or
16:59
Speaker 1: are you letting God's word be the final authority in
17:03
Speaker 1: your life. The world is filled with people who are alive,
17:07
Speaker 1: but not truly living. They wake up, go through the motions,
17:10
Speaker 1: chase after success, build their careers, accumulate wealth, and fill
17:15
Speaker 1: their lives with entertainment. But deep inside, something is missing.
17:21
Speaker 1: There is an emptiness that nothing in this world can satisfy.
17:27
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't just come to give people a ticket to heaven.
17:30
Speaker 1: He came to give life, real life, a life that
17:35
Speaker 1: isn't just about existing but about thriving. When Jesus said
17:40
Speaker 1: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, he
17:43
Speaker 1: wasn't just talking about eternity. He was talking about the
17:47
Speaker 1: quality of life that only he can give. I have
17:50
Speaker 1: come that they may have life, and have it more
17:52
Speaker 1: abundantly John ten ten. But what does that actually mean?
17:57
Speaker 1: Many people think of life in terms of breathing, working, surviving,
18:02
Speaker 1: but Jesus describes life as something deeper. The Bible teaches
18:07
Speaker 1: that without Christ, people may be physically alive, but they
18:11
Speaker 1: are spiritually dead. As for you, you were dead in
18:15
Speaker 1: your transgressions and sins Ephesians two, colon Ie. This is
18:21
Speaker 1: why no amount of money, relationships, accomplishments, or pleasure can
18:25
Speaker 1: fill the void in the human heart, because without Jesus,
18:29
Speaker 1: people are disconnected from the source of life itself. Think
18:33
Speaker 1: about it. If you unplug a lamp from the power source,
18:37
Speaker 1: does it still function? No matter how beautiful or expensive
18:41
Speaker 1: the lamp is, it will never shine if it is
18:44
Speaker 1: disconnected from the source. That's exactly what happens when people
18:48
Speaker 1: try to live life without Jesus. They may look successful
18:52
Speaker 1: on the outside, but inside they feel empty. They chase
18:58
Speaker 1: things that never truly satisfy. The Bible says, what good
19:02
Speaker 1: is it for someone to gain the whole world yet
19:06
Speaker 1: forfeit their soul? Mark eight thirty six. We see this
19:11
Speaker 1: reality every day. People who seem to have it all fame, power, influence,
19:18
Speaker 1: yet they struggle with depression, addiction, anxiety, and even thoughts
19:23
Speaker 1: of suicide. The world promises that money, relationships, or achievements
19:28
Speaker 1: will make people happy, but in the end they always
19:31
Speaker 1: leave people wanting more, because life without Jesus is not
19:36
Speaker 1: real life. But here's the good news. Jesus came to
19:40
Speaker 1: restore life through his death and resurrection. He made a
19:44
Speaker 1: way for people to move from spiritual death to spiritual life.
19:48
Speaker 1: Whoever believes in the Sun has eternal life, but whoever
19:52
Speaker 1: rejects the Sun will not see life, for God's wrath
19:56
Speaker 1: remains on them. John three thirty six. Jesus offers two
20:02
Speaker 1: things that the world cannot provide. Eternal life, the promise
20:06
Speaker 1: that those who believe in him will live forever with God,
20:10
Speaker 1: free from sin, death and pain. Abundant life. A life
20:14
Speaker 1: filled with joy, peace, purpose, and the presence of God
20:18
Speaker 1: right now. This means that the life Jesus offers is
20:22
Speaker 1: not just something that begins after death. It begins the
20:27
Speaker 1: moment you put your faith in him. Eternal life is
20:31
Speaker 1: not just about heaven. It is about having a relationship
20:34
Speaker 1: with God. Now this is eternal life. That they know you,
20:39
Speaker 1: the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have
20:43
Speaker 1: sent John seventeen three. Knowing Jesus is what brings real,
20:48
Speaker 1: lasting joy. It is what fills the emptiness that nothing
20:52
Speaker 1: else can satisfy. Think about the people in the Bible
20:56
Speaker 1: who encountered Jesus and had their lives transformed. The Samaritan
21:01
Speaker 1: woman at the well John four was thirsty not just
21:05
Speaker 1: for water, but for meaning, love and fulfillment. Jesus told her,
21:11
Speaker 1: whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst
21:14
Speaker 1: again John four fourteen. Zychaus Luke nineteen was rich but miserable.
21:21
Speaker 1: He had wealth but no peace. The moment he encountered Jesus,
21:26
Speaker 1: his entire life changed. Mary Magdalene Luke eight two was
21:31
Speaker 1: filled with demons and darkness, but when she met Jesus,
21:35
Speaker 1: she was set free and found true life. And the
21:38
Speaker 1: same thing happens to day. Maybe you've tried everything to
21:42
Speaker 1: find happiness. Maybe you've looked for purpose in success, relationships, money,
21:47
Speaker 1: or even religion, but nothing truly satisfies. Jesus is saying,
21:52
Speaker 1: I am the life, real life, abundant life, eternal life,
21:57
Speaker 1: and the best part, it's free. Jesus already paid for
22:01
Speaker 1: it with his blood. All you have to do is
22:03
Speaker 1: receive it. So let me ask you. Are you truly
22:07
Speaker 1: living or are you just surviving? Are you plugged into
22:10
Speaker 1: the source of life or are you trying to make
22:13
Speaker 1: it on your own? Are you chasing things that will fade?
22:17
Speaker 1: Or have you found the life that never ends? The
22:19
Speaker 1: world today loves the idea of multiple paths to God.
22:24
Speaker 1: People say things like all religions lead to the same place,
22:27
Speaker 1: or as long as you're a good person, you'll make
22:31
Speaker 1: it to heaven. The idea that Jesus is the only
22:35
Speaker 1: way is not just unpopular, it's offensive to many. But
22:39
Speaker 1: here's the truth. Jesus never left room for other options
22:45
Speaker 1: when he said no one comes to the Father except
22:48
Speaker 1: through me John fourteen six. He wasn't offering a suggestion.
22:53
Speaker 1: He wasn't saying I am one of many ways. He
22:57
Speaker 1: was making a bold, exclusive claim, one that separates Christianity
23:03
Speaker 1: from every other belief system in the world. And that's
23:06
Speaker 1: why this statement is both controversial and absolutely necessary. Think
23:13
Speaker 1: about it. If there were multiple ways to God, then
23:17
Speaker 1: why did Jesus have to die If people could be
23:20
Speaker 1: saved through their good deeds, their religious rituals, or their
23:24
Speaker 1: personal enlightenment, then why did Jesus endure the cross. The
23:29
Speaker 1: very fact that Jesus had to die proves that there
23:33
Speaker 1: was no other way. For there is one God and
23:36
Speaker 1: one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus
23:42
Speaker 1: one Timothy two five. Jesus is the bridge between God
23:46
Speaker 1: and man, the only one who could reconcile a sinful
23:50
Speaker 1: world to a holy God. But why is this the case?
23:53
Speaker 1: Why can't people just approach God however they want. From
23:57
Speaker 1: the moment Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden,
24:00
Speaker 1: a great separation occurred. The perfect relationship between God and
24:05
Speaker 1: humanity was broken, and sin became a wall that no
24:10
Speaker 1: human effort could overcome. Your iniquities have separated you from
24:15
Speaker 1: your God. Your sins have hidden his face from you
24:19
Speaker 1: Isaiah fifty nine, Colon two. No matter how many good
24:24
Speaker 1: works a person does, no matter how much they try
24:27
Speaker 1: to be spiritual or moral, the reality is that sin
24:31
Speaker 1: cannot be erased by human effort. The Israelites tried to
24:35
Speaker 1: follow the law, but they constantly failed. The religious leaders
24:40
Speaker 1: of Jesus time relied on self righteousness, but they remained
24:45
Speaker 1: spiritually blind. People to day put their trust in personal goodness,
24:50
Speaker 1: but the Bible says there is no one righteous, not
24:54
Speaker 1: even one Romans three ten. This is why Jesus had
24:59
Speaker 1: to come. Only a perfect, sinless sacrifice could remove the
25:03
Speaker 1: barrier of sin. Throughout history, people have tried to find
25:07
Speaker 1: their own way to God. Some turn to religion, thinking rituals, prayers,
25:11
Speaker 1: or good works will make them worthy. Others rely on philosophy,
25:16
Speaker 1: believing that human wisdom can explain the mysteries of life.
25:20
Speaker 1: Many seek spirituality without Jesus, trying to connect with a
25:25
Speaker 1: higher power on their own terms. But here's the problem.
25:29
Speaker 1: None of these can actually deal with the issue of sin.
25:33
Speaker 1: This is why Jesus is the only way. The Bible
25:37
Speaker 1: makes it clear. Without the shedding of blood, there is
25:40
Speaker 1: no forgiveness of sins Hebrews nine twenty two. From the
25:46
Speaker 1: very beginning, God established that sin must be atoned for
25:50
Speaker 1: through sacrifice. In the Old Testament, animals were sacrificed as
25:55
Speaker 1: temporary coverings for sin, but these sacrifices had to be
25:59
Speaker 1: repat heated over and over again because they could never
26:03
Speaker 1: truly remove sin. But Jesus changed everything. But when Christ
26:08
Speaker 1: had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins,
26:12
Speaker 1: he sat down at the right hand of God Hebrews
26:15
Speaker 1: ten twelve. Jesus did what no other religion, philosophy, or
26:20
Speaker 1: personal effort could do. He paid the price in full.
26:24
Speaker 1: The Bible is crystal clear that Jesus is not one
26:27
Speaker 1: of many ways. He is the only way one Acts
26:33
Speaker 1: four twelve. Salvation is found in no one else, for
26:37
Speaker 1: there is no other name under heaven given to mankind
26:41
Speaker 1: by which we must be saved. The Apostles boldly proclaimed
26:45
Speaker 1: that no one else can save us, only Jesus. Second
26:50
Speaker 1: John three thirty six. Whoever believes in the Sun has
26:54
Speaker 1: eternal life, but whoever rejects the sun will not see life,
26:58
Speaker 1: for God's wrath remains of them. This verse makes it
27:02
Speaker 1: clear rejecting Jesus means rejecting eternal life. Third Romans ten nine.
27:09
Speaker 1: If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and
27:12
Speaker 1: believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
27:15
Speaker 1: you will be saved. Salvation is not about trying harder,
27:19
Speaker 1: It's about faith in Jesus. What about people who have
27:23
Speaker 1: never heard the gospel? A common question is what about
27:28
Speaker 1: those who never hear about Jesus. The Bible tells us
27:32
Speaker 1: that God is just and that he desires all people
27:36
Speaker 1: to be saved Second Peter three nine. He has revealed
27:40
Speaker 1: himself in multiple ways. Through creation, the heavens declare the
27:44
Speaker 1: glory of God Psalm nineteen one. Through conscience, the requirements
27:50
Speaker 1: of the law are written on their hearts Romans two fifteen.
27:55
Speaker 1: Through Christ the ultimate revelation of God's love and truth.
27:59
Speaker 1: This is why missions and evangelism are so important. God
28:03
Speaker 1: has entrusted his followers with the responsibility of sharing the gospel.
28:09
Speaker 1: How can they believe in the one of whom they
28:11
Speaker 1: have not heard Romans ten fourteen. If Jesus is the
28:17
Speaker 1: only way, then rejecting him is the most serious mistake
28:21
Speaker 1: a person can make. Jesus himself warned, enter through the
28:25
Speaker 1: narrow gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is
28:28
Speaker 1: the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through
28:33
Speaker 1: it Matthew seven thirteen. The world offers many paths, but
28:38
Speaker 1: only one leads to eternal life. Rejecting Jesus means rejecting salvation.
28:45
Speaker 1: Whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have
28:48
Speaker 1: not believed in the name of God's one and only son,
28:53
Speaker 1: John three eighteen. This is why the Gospel is urgent.
28:58
Speaker 1: People's eternity depends on it. The amazing truth is that
29:02
Speaker 1: Jesus doesn't just tell us the way. He is the way.
29:07
Speaker 1: You don't have to earn salvation. You don't have to
29:10
Speaker 1: search for another way. You don't have to carry the
29:13
Speaker 1: burden of sin. Jesus already made the way. Come to me,
29:17
Speaker 1: all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
29:20
Speaker 1: give you rest Matthew eleven, twenty eight. If you have
29:24
Speaker 1: been searching for truth, longing for meaning, or wondering how
29:27
Speaker 1: to be right with God, Jesus is the answer. So
29:31
Speaker 1: let me ask you. Have you put your faith in
29:33
Speaker 1: Jesus as the only way to God? Are you trusting
29:37
Speaker 1: in your own goodness or in the finished work of Christ?
29:41
Speaker 1: Have you shared this truth with those around you who
29:44
Speaker 1: are searching for the way. For centuries before Jesus walked
29:48
Speaker 1: the earth, God was already laying the foundation for his arrival.
29:53
Speaker 1: The Old Testament is filled with shadows, symbols, and prophecies
29:57
Speaker 1: pointing to the divine path that would lead humanity back
30:01
Speaker 1: to God. When Jesus said I Am the Way, the Truth,
30:07
Speaker 1: and the Life John fourteen six, he was not making
30:11
Speaker 1: an isolated statement. He was fulfilling everything the scriptures had
30:15
Speaker 1: spoken about the way to salvation. But what exactly was
30:20
Speaker 1: this way that the Old Testament pointed to. Long before
30:25
Speaker 1: jesus earthly ministry, God gave Moses a specific pattern for worship,
30:30
Speaker 1: a detailed structure called the Tabernacle Exodus twenty five through
30:34
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Every part of the Tabernacle was designed to
30:38
Speaker 1: foreshadow Jesus and the path to God. To enter into
30:43
Speaker 1: God's presence, one had to go through three main areas
30:46
Speaker 1: in the Tabernacle. The Outer Court represented repentance and cleansing.
30:52
Speaker 1: The Holy Place represented sanctification and fellowship with God. The
30:57
Speaker 1: Most Holy Place represented God, God's presence the final destination.
31:03
Speaker 1: The only way to reach the Most Holy Place, where
31:06
Speaker 1: God's presence dwelled, was through a veil, a massive curtain
31:10
Speaker 1: that separated God from sinful man. No one could enter
31:15
Speaker 1: except the high priest once a year, on the day
31:19
Speaker 1: of Atonement. This was the old system, a temporary way
31:23
Speaker 1: that required endless sacrifices. But when Jesus came, he fulfilled
31:28
Speaker 1: every part of the tabernacle and made a way that
31:32
Speaker 1: would never be closed again. The moment Jesus died, something
31:37
Speaker 1: incredible happened. Then behold, the veil of the temple was
31:41
Speaker 1: torn in two from top to bottom Matthew, twenty seven
31:45
Speaker 1: fifty one. This was no ordinary event. The veil was massive,
31:51
Speaker 1: sixty feet tall and four inches thick. No human hands
31:55
Speaker 1: could have torn it. This was God declaring that the
31:58
Speaker 1: way was now open for all through Jesus. We no
32:02
Speaker 1: longer need a priest to stand between us and God.
32:05
Speaker 1: He is our high priest. We no longer need animal sacrifices.
32:09
Speaker 1: Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice. The separation caused by sin
32:15
Speaker 1: has been removed because Jesus became the way into the
32:19
Speaker 1: presence of God. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have
32:24
Speaker 1: confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood
32:27
Speaker 1: of Jesus, by a new and living way Hebrews tenh
32:33
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty Hundreds of years before Jesus came, the
32:38
Speaker 1: prophet Isaiah spoke about a coming highway called the Way
32:41
Speaker 1: of Holiness. And a highway shall be there, and it
32:46
Speaker 1: shall be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall
32:50
Speaker 1: not pass over it. It shall belong to those who
32:52
Speaker 1: walk on the way, but the redeemed shall walk there
32:57
Speaker 1: Isaiah thirty five, eight to nine. This was not a
33:01
Speaker 1: literal road. It was a prophecy about a spiritual path
33:04
Speaker 1: that only the redeemed could walk on. The unclean shall
33:08
Speaker 1: not pass over it because sin cannot enter God's presence.
33:12
Speaker 1: It shall belong to those who walk on the way,
33:15
Speaker 1: meaning it requires faith and obedience. The redeemed shall walk there.
33:21
Speaker 1: Those saved by God will enter this way. Isaiah was
33:26
Speaker 1: pointing to Jesus, the one who would open the way
33:29
Speaker 1: of holiness for all who believe. This prophecy is fulfilled
33:34
Speaker 1: in John fourteen six, where Jesus declared I am the Way.
33:39
Speaker 1: He was saying, I am the fulfillment of everything the
33:42
Speaker 1: prophet spoke about. I am the path to holiness. I
33:48
Speaker 1: am the way of redemption. From the beginning, the Old
33:52
Speaker 1: Testament laid the foundation for Jesus as the way. In
33:56
Speaker 1: Exodus twelve, God told Israel to put the blood of
33:59
Speaker 1: a life lamb on their doorposts so the angel of
34:02
Speaker 1: Death would pass over them. This was a foreshadowing of Jesus,
34:06
Speaker 1: the true passover lamb, whose blood covers Us from death
34:10
Speaker 1: First Corinthians five seven in Numbers twenty one nine, the
34:14
Speaker 1: Israelites were dying from snake bites. God told Moses to
34:19
Speaker 1: lift up a bronze serpent, and whoever looked at it
34:22
Speaker 1: was healed. Jesus directly referenced this event, saying, just as
34:28
Speaker 1: Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the
34:32
Speaker 1: son of Man must be lifted up that everyone who
34:35
Speaker 1: believes may have eternal life in him John three, fourteen
34:41
Speaker 1: to fifteen. In Genesis seven, Noah's ark was the only
34:46
Speaker 1: way to escape the flood of judgment. The ark had
34:49
Speaker 1: one door, just as Jesus is the one door to
34:54
Speaker 1: salvation John ten nine. Every one of these events pointed
34:59
Speaker 1: forward to Jesus as the way. The entire Old Testament
35:05
Speaker 1: was God preparing the world to recognize him when he arrived.
35:10
Speaker 1: Many people today are still looking for their own way
35:13
Speaker 1: to God. Some believe they can reach God through good works.
35:17
Speaker 1: Others try to find their own path through religion, philosophy,
35:21
Speaker 1: or spirituality. Many think all religions lead to the same place,
35:25
Speaker 1: even though Jesus clearly said He's the only way. This
35:29
Speaker 1: is why understanding the Old Testament prophecies is so important.
35:34
Speaker 1: Jesus was not just a great teacher. He was the
35:37
Speaker 1: fulfillment of God's eternal plan. When Jesus said I am
35:43
Speaker 1: the Way, he wasn't introducing something new. He was revealing
35:47
Speaker 1: what God had been pointing to since the beginning of time.
35:51
Speaker 1: Have you been trying to create your own way to God?
35:54
Speaker 1: Are you trusting in Jesus alone or in your own efforts?
35:58
Speaker 1: Have you recognized how all of scripture from Genesis to
36:03
Speaker 1: Revelation points to Jesus as the only way. Many people
36:08
Speaker 1: struggle with the idea that Jesus is the only way
36:11
Speaker 1: to God. In today's culture, the idea of exclusivity is offensive.
36:17
Speaker 1: People want options, alternatives, and paths that suit their personal beliefs.
36:22
Speaker 1: But Jesus did not leave room for negotiation when he said,
36:26
Speaker 1: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No
36:29
Speaker 1: one comes to the Father except through me John fourteen six.
36:35
Speaker 1: This statement is not just bold, it's absolute. It eliminates
36:39
Speaker 1: the possibility that all religions lead to the same God.
36:44
Speaker 1: It rejects the idea that people can be good enough
36:48
Speaker 1: on their own. It forces everyone to make a choice
36:51
Speaker 1: follow Jesus or go their own way, and this is
36:56
Speaker 1: exactly what Jesus warned about in Matthew seven thirteen to
36:59
Speaker 1: Fourty enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate,
37:04
Speaker 1: and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and
37:08
Speaker 1: many enter through it. But small is the gate, and
37:12
Speaker 1: narrow the road that leads to life, and only a
37:16
Speaker 1: few find it. Jesus describes two roads. One is wide, popular,
37:22
Speaker 1: easy to walk, but it leads to destruction. The other
37:26
Speaker 1: is narrow, difficult, costly, but it leads to eternal life.
37:30
Speaker 1: Wide do so many people choose the wide road. The
37:35
Speaker 1: answer is simple pride, sin and deception. Pride keeps people
37:40
Speaker 1: from admitting they need a savior. They don't want to
37:44
Speaker 1: humble themselves and acknowledge that they are sinners in need
37:47
Speaker 1: of grace. The idea of surrendering control is uncomfortable, so
37:52
Speaker 1: they would rather create their own path than follow the
37:55
Speaker 1: one God has given. This is the same mistake that
37:59
Speaker 1: happened in the Garden of Eden. God gave Adam and
38:02
Speaker 1: Eve a clear path obey and live, but Satan tempted
38:08
Speaker 1: them with the idea that they could define their own truth.
38:12
Speaker 1: You will be like God, knowing good and evil. Genesis
38:16
Speaker 1: three Colon five. That deception is still alive to day.
38:21
Speaker 1: People want to be their own gods, choosing their own
38:24
Speaker 1: definitions of right and wrong, but in doing so they
38:28
Speaker 1: reject the only path that leads to salvation. Sin also
38:33
Speaker 1: keeps people on the broad road. Many reject Jesus not
38:37
Speaker 1: because they don't believe in God, but because they don't
38:40
Speaker 1: want to give up their sinful lifestyles. They want heaven,
38:44
Speaker 1: but they also want to live however they please. Jesus
38:48
Speaker 1: made it clear that following him requires surrender. He said,
38:53
Speaker 1: whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and
38:56
Speaker 1: take up their cross daily and follow me Luke nine
39:01
Speaker 1: twenty three. This means surrendering selfish desires, sinful habits, and
39:07
Speaker 1: worldly attachments, but for many that coste feels too high.
39:12
Speaker 1: They want a comfortable religion that allows them to live
39:15
Speaker 1: for themselves while still expecting God to bless them. The
39:19
Speaker 1: rich young Ruler in Matthew nineteen sixteen to twenty two
39:23
Speaker 1: is a perfect example. He wanted eternal life, but wasn't
39:27
Speaker 1: willing to let go of his wealth and possessions. When
39:31
Speaker 1: Jesus told him to sell his belongings and follow him.
39:35
Speaker 1: The man walked away sad because he was too attached
39:39
Speaker 1: to the things of this world. This is what Jesus
39:42
Speaker 1: meant when he said the gate is narrow. It's not
39:46
Speaker 1: that God makes salvation difficult, It's that people don't want
39:50
Speaker 1: to let go of the world. Deception is another major
39:55
Speaker 1: reason many reject Jesus as the only way. The enemy
39:59
Speaker 1: has filled them world with false religions, self help philosophies,
40:04
Speaker 1: and alternative spiritual paths that sound good but ultimately lead nowhere.
40:11
Speaker 1: Paul warned about this in Second Corinthians four four, saying
40:15
Speaker 1: the God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers,
40:19
Speaker 1: so they cannot see the light of the Gospel that
40:22
Speaker 1: displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
40:27
Speaker 1: Satan blinds people with counterfeit truths. He convinces them that
40:31
Speaker 1: they can find peace through self improvement, meditation, or good deeds,
40:36
Speaker 1: but none of these things can remove sin or lead
40:39
Speaker 1: to eternal life. Jesus knew that people would reject him
40:43
Speaker 1: in favor of easier, more appealing options. He said in
40:47
Speaker 1: John three nineteen to twenty. Light has come into the world,
40:51
Speaker 1: but people love darkness instead of light because their deeds
40:55
Speaker 1: were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light and
40:59
Speaker 1: will not come into the light for fear that their
41:01
Speaker 1: deeds will be exposed. The truth is following Jesus is costly.
41:07
Speaker 1: It means surrender, it means transformation, It means giving up control.
41:12
Speaker 1: That's why so many choose the broad road instead. But
41:16
Speaker 1: here's the reality. The broad road always leads to destruction.
41:21
Speaker 1: People who choose to reject Jesus might live comfortably now,
41:25
Speaker 1: but they are walking toward eternal separation from God. Jesus
41:29
Speaker 1: words in Matthew seven twenty one to twenty three are
41:34
Speaker 1: some of the most sobering in scripture. Not every one
41:37
Speaker 1: who says to me, Lord Lord, will enter the kingdom
41:40
Speaker 1: of heaven, but only the one who does the will
41:43
Speaker 1: of my Father, who is in heaven. Many will say
41:47
Speaker 1: to me, on that day, Lord Lord, did we not
41:50
Speaker 1: prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons,
41:55
Speaker 1: and in your name perform many miracles? Then I will
41:58
Speaker 1: tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me,
42:03
Speaker 1: you evildoers. This means there will be many people who
42:07
Speaker 1: thought they were saved, but weren't. They walked a road
42:10
Speaker 1: that looked religious but was still broad because it wasn't
42:13
Speaker 1: based on true surrender to Jesus. This is why understanding
42:17
Speaker 1: John fourteen six is so critical. If Jesus is the
42:22
Speaker 1: only way, then every other way leads to death. If
42:26
Speaker 1: Jesus is the only truth, then every other belief system
42:29
Speaker 1: is a lie. If Jesus is the only life, then
42:33
Speaker 1: every attempt to find meaning apart from him is empty.
42:37
Speaker 1: Have you fully surrendered to the narrow path of following
42:40
Speaker 1: Jesus or are you still trying to hold on to
42:43
Speaker 1: the broad road that feels easier. Because at the end
42:46
Speaker 1: of the day, there are only two destinations. One leads
42:51
Speaker 1: to eternal life and the other to eternal separation. The
42:57
Speaker 1: choice is yours. Following Jesus is not just about acknowledging
43:02
Speaker 1: that he is the way, the truth, and the life.
43:05
Speaker 1: It's about walking in the way, living in the truth,
43:10
Speaker 1: and abiding in the life every single day. Many people
43:15
Speaker 1: claim to believe in Jesus, but their lives remain unchanged
43:19
Speaker 1: because they don't follow him fully. They accept him as savior,
43:23
Speaker 1: but they don't submit to him as lord. But Jesus
43:26
Speaker 1: made it clear that following him is not just about belief.
43:30
Speaker 1: It's about obedience. Surrender and discipleship. Whoever wants to be
43:36
Speaker 1: my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross
43:40
Speaker 1: daily and follow me Luke nine twenty three. This is
43:46
Speaker 1: the challenge. Many want the blessings of the Christian life
43:50
Speaker 1: without the cost of discipleship. But to truly walk in
43:53
Speaker 1: the Way, the Truth and the life, we must live
43:57
Speaker 1: as Jesus lived, surrendering daily and walking in complete obedience
44:02
Speaker 1: to God. Walking in the way means aligning our steps
44:07
Speaker 1: with Jesus direction. Living in the truth means rejecting the
44:12
Speaker 1: lives of the world and standing firm on God's word.
44:16
Speaker 1: Abiding in the life means remaining connected to Jesus as
44:20
Speaker 1: our source of everything. So how do we do that?
44:23
Speaker 1: Walking in the way means following Jesus, not just acknowledging him.
44:29
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't say believe in the way, but rather I
44:33
Speaker 1: am the Way. This means that following Jesus is not
44:37
Speaker 1: a one time decision, it's a lifelong journey. It's a path,
44:42
Speaker 1: not just a belief. Many people call themselves Christians but
44:45
Speaker 1: are still walking their own way rather than surrendering to
44:49
Speaker 1: Christ's leading. Think of the rich young ruler in Matthew nineteen.
44:55
Speaker 1: He came to Jesus wanting eternal life. He even claimed
44:58
Speaker 1: he had obeyed all the command garments. But when Jesus
45:02
Speaker 1: told him to sell everything, give to the poor, and
45:06
Speaker 1: follow him, the young man walked away sad. Why because
45:12
Speaker 1: he wanted his own way. He wanted Jesus on his
45:14
Speaker 1: own terms. But Jesus doesn't allow that. He said, no
45:19
Speaker 1: one who puts his hand to the plow and looks
45:22
Speaker 1: back is fit for the Kingdom of God Luke nine
45:27
Speaker 1: sixty two. Walking in the way means that when Jesus calls,
45:32
Speaker 1: we follow no questions, no hesitation, no conditions. It means
45:37
Speaker 1: leaving behind anything that keeps us from fully surrendering to him.
45:41
Speaker 1: Are you walking in the way or are you trying
45:44
Speaker 1: to have Jesus while still holding on to your own plans.
45:48
Speaker 1: Living in the truth means rejecting the lies of the enemy.
45:51
Speaker 1: The world today is filled with false truths. People are
45:56
Speaker 1: told to live their own truth, to believe whatever makes
45:59
Speaker 1: them feel good. But Jesus didn't say I am a truth.
46:03
Speaker 1: He said I am the truth. That means every other
46:07
Speaker 1: truth that contradicts him is a lie. Satan has been
46:12
Speaker 1: deceiving people with false truth since the beginning In the
46:16
Speaker 1: Garden of Eden, he twisted God's words, saying to Eve,
46:20
Speaker 1: did God really say Genesis three one? That same deception
46:26
Speaker 1: is still at work to day. The enemy whispers. Did
46:29
Speaker 1: God really say that sin leads to death? Did God
46:33
Speaker 1: really say Jesus is the only way? Did God really say?
46:37
Speaker 1: You need to surrender everything? And many fall for the lies.
46:42
Speaker 1: Even some Christians have begun to compromise, shaping their faith
46:46
Speaker 1: to fit what is comfortable rather than what is true.
46:50
Speaker 1: But Jesus warned, if you hold to my teaching, you
46:53
Speaker 1: are really my disciples, then you will know the truth,
46:57
Speaker 1: and the truth will set you free. John eight thirty
47:01
Speaker 1: one to thirty two. Living in the truth means rejecting
47:05
Speaker 1: the lies of the world, the enemy, and even our
47:09
Speaker 1: own emotions. It means standing on the word of God
47:13
Speaker 1: even when it's unpopular. It means not compromising, not watering
47:18
Speaker 1: down the gospel, and not following the crowd. Are you
47:22
Speaker 1: standing on the truth or are you letting culture redefine
47:25
Speaker 1: your faith? Abiding in the life means staying connected to
47:30
Speaker 1: Jesus every day. Many Christians are spiritually drained because they
47:35
Speaker 1: are trying to live for Jesus without being connected to Jesus.
47:39
Speaker 1: But Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches.
47:43
Speaker 1: If you remain in me and I in you, you
47:47
Speaker 1: will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do
47:51
Speaker 1: nothing John fifteen five. Apart from Him we wither, We
47:56
Speaker 1: lose passion, strength, and direction. This is why many believers
48:02
Speaker 1: feel distant from God. It's not that he left them,
48:05
Speaker 1: but that they stopped abiding in him. Abiding in the
48:09
Speaker 1: life means staying connected to Jesus through prayer, worship, and
48:13
Speaker 1: the word. It means making him the center of everything,
48:17
Speaker 1: not just a part of life. Think about it. You
48:20
Speaker 1: can't expect to grow spiritually if you only pray when
48:24
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. You can't expect to know God's voice.
48:27
Speaker 1: If you never read his word. You can't expect to
48:30
Speaker 1: walk in power if you're disconnected from the source of power.
48:34
Speaker 1: That's why Paul says, pray without ceasing First Thessalonians five seventeen,
48:40
Speaker 1: and why David said, I have hidden your word in
48:43
Speaker 1: my heart that I might not sin against you Psalm
48:47
Speaker 1: one hundred nineteen, verse eleven. Abiding in the life means
48:51
Speaker 1: Jesus is not just a Sunday habit, but a daily necessity.
48:56
Speaker 1: It means that everything we do flows from our relationship
49:00
Speaker 1: with Him. Are you truly abiding in the life or
49:03
Speaker 1: are you just visiting when it's convenient. How to walk,
49:07
Speaker 1: live and abide practical steps start every day with surrender
49:13
Speaker 1: before anything else. Pray Lord to day. I choose to
49:17
Speaker 1: follow you, not my way, not my will, but yours.
49:22
Speaker 1: Read the Word daily. Don't just skim through it, Study it.
49:26
Speaker 1: Let it shape your thoughts and decisions. Pray constantly. Prayer
49:30
Speaker 1: isn't just for emergencies. It's daily communication with your Father.
49:34
Speaker 1: Stay in fellowship. Surround yourself with believers who will push
49:39
Speaker 1: you closer to Jesus, not pull you away. Obey immediately
49:44
Speaker 1: when God convicts you, act on it. Don't delay, stay humble.
49:49
Speaker 1: Remember this journey is about following Jesus, not leading him.
49:53
Speaker 1: Walking in the way, living in the truth, and abiding
49:57
Speaker 1: in the life is not just a one time decision.
50:00
Speaker 1: It's a daily lifestyle. So let me ask you. Are
50:03
Speaker 1: you truly following Jesus or are you just acknowledging him?
50:07
Speaker 1: Are you standing on the truth or have you compromised?
50:11
Speaker 1: Are you abiding in Him daily or just visiting when
50:14
Speaker 1: you need something. The moment Jesus declared, I am the Way,
50:19
Speaker 1: the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the
50:21
Speaker 1: Father except through me John fourteen six. He made a
50:25
Speaker 1: statement that would forever divide humanity. It was not just
50:29
Speaker 1: a bold claim, it was an exclusive one. In a
50:32
Speaker 1: world that embraces inclusivity, where people want to believe that
50:37
Speaker 1: all paths lead to God, jesus words remain just as
50:41
Speaker 1: offensive to day as they were two thousand years ago
50:45
Speaker 1: because what he said leaves no room for negotiation, no
50:49
Speaker 1: room for many ways to Heaven, no room for compromise.
50:53
Speaker 1: Either he was telling the absolute truth or he was lying,
50:57
Speaker 1: and the world has been wrestling with that since. People
51:01
Speaker 1: today are more comfortable with a Jesus who is just
51:05
Speaker 1: a moral teacher, a good example, or one religious leader
51:10
Speaker 1: among many, but they reject a Jesus who claims to
51:14
Speaker 1: be the only way to God. That kind of Jesus
51:18
Speaker 1: is considered too narrow minded, too exclusive, too intolerant for
51:24
Speaker 1: modern society. But here's the reality. Truth is always exclusive.
51:29
Speaker 1: Two plus two is four. That is an exclusive truth.
51:34
Speaker 1: It cannot be five, six or any other number. And
51:37
Speaker 1: the same applies to salvation. Jesus is the only way,
51:41
Speaker 1: not because Christians say so, but because God himself has
51:45
Speaker 1: established it. For there is one God and one mediator
51:49
Speaker 1: between God and men, the man Christ Jesus Verse Timothy
51:54
Speaker 1: two five. There are not multiple mediators. There is not
51:58
Speaker 1: another savior. No other religion, philosophy, or system can bridge
52:02
Speaker 1: the gap between sinful humanity and a holy God. Only Jesus.
52:09
Speaker 1: But the world doesn't want to accept that. The world
52:11
Speaker 1: wants options, it wants control, It wants to redefine God
52:16
Speaker 1: on its own terms. And so people create their own religions,
52:20
Speaker 1: their own spiritual paths, and their own versions of truth.
52:25
Speaker 1: That's why Jesus said, enter through the narrow gate. For
52:29
Speaker 1: wide is the gate, and broad is the road that
52:32
Speaker 1: leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small
52:37
Speaker 1: is the gate, and narrow the road that leads to life,
52:41
Speaker 1: and only a few find it Matthew seven thirteen fourteen.
52:46
Speaker 1: Notice the warning. Many take the broad road, many reject
52:51
Speaker 1: the narrow way. Why Because the narrow way requires surrender.
52:57
Speaker 1: The broad road allows people to live how however they want,
53:01
Speaker 1: believe whatever feels good, and ignore the reality of sin.
53:06
Speaker 1: The narrow way requires repentance. The broad road celebrates rebellion,
53:13
Speaker 1: and Jesus knew that most people would choose the easy
53:16
Speaker 1: path over the right one. This is why the world
53:19
Speaker 1: fights so hard against this truth. This is why Christianity
53:24
Speaker 1: is constantly under attack, while other religions are often tolerated,
53:28
Speaker 1: even praised, because Christianity is not just another belief system.
53:34
Speaker 1: It is the truth that exposes the lies of every
53:37
Speaker 1: false system. Jesus himself warned, if the world hates you,
53:43
Speaker 1: keep in mind that it hated me First John fifteen eighteen.
53:48
Speaker 1: This battle is not new from the early Church. Until now,
53:52
Speaker 1: Christians have faced persecution for believing in the exclusive truth
53:56
Speaker 1: of Christ. The disciples were beaten in prison and killed
54:01
Speaker 1: not for being good people, but for declaring that Jesus
54:05
Speaker 1: was the only way. Stephen was stoned to death for
54:10
Speaker 1: proclaiming Christ Act seven, Paul was thrown into prison for
54:15
Speaker 1: preaching the Gospel Act sixteen. Every disciple except John was
54:20
Speaker 1: martyred because they refuse to deny that Jesus was the
54:24
Speaker 1: only way. And to day the battle continues. In some countries,
54:28
Speaker 1: Christians are still being imprisoned or killed for their faith.
54:32
Speaker 1: In others, they are mocked, silenced, or canceled for speaking
54:36
Speaker 1: biblical truth. The culture demands that we compromise, that we
54:41
Speaker 1: accept all paths as equal, that we redefine Christianity to
54:46
Speaker 1: fit into a world that wants spirituality without submission. But
54:51
Speaker 1: we cannot compromise. If we truly believe that Jesus is
54:55
Speaker 1: the only way, the only truth, and the only life,
55:00
Speaker 1: then we must be willing to stand firm no matter what.
55:04
Speaker 1: Paul reminded Timothy, for the time will come when people
55:08
Speaker 1: will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit
55:13
Speaker 1: their own desires, they will gather around them a great
55:16
Speaker 1: number of teachers to say what their itching ears want
55:19
Speaker 1: to hear. Tewod Timothy four three. That time is now.
55:25
Speaker 1: People don't want to hear the truth. They want to
55:28
Speaker 1: hear what makes them feel good. They want a gospel
55:31
Speaker 1: that doesn't require change, a Jesus who doesn't confront their sin,
55:37
Speaker 1: a faith that allows them to live however they want.
55:41
Speaker 1: But Jesus never gave us that option. He said, whoever
55:44
Speaker 1: wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take
55:49
Speaker 1: up their cross daily and follow me. Luke nine twenty three.
55:54
Speaker 1: Following Jesus is not about being comfortable. It is about
55:58
Speaker 1: surrendering everything to him. It is about standing firm in
56:02
Speaker 1: his truth even when the world calls us intolerant, hateful,
56:06
Speaker 1: or outdated. So how do we stand strong when the
56:11
Speaker 1: world fights against this truth? Know the word. The more
56:15
Speaker 1: you are grounded in scripture, the harder it will be
56:18
Speaker 1: for deception to shake you. Jesus prayed, sanctify them by
56:23
Speaker 1: the truth. Your word is truth, John seventeen seventeen. If
56:30
Speaker 1: we don't know the word, we won't recognize lies. Live
56:35
Speaker 1: it out. We cannot just talk about truths. We must
56:39
Speaker 1: live in it. Jesus said, let your light shine before others,
56:44
Speaker 1: that they may see your good deeds and glorify your
56:47
Speaker 1: father in heaven Matthew five sixteen. When people see the
56:52
Speaker 1: real Jesus in us, it draws them to him. Be
56:56
Speaker 1: ready to defend your faith, Peter told us. Always be
57:00
Speaker 1: prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you
57:03
Speaker 1: to give the reason for the hope that you have.
57:07
Speaker 1: But do this with gentleness and respect first Peter three
57:11
Speaker 1: point fifteen. We don't argue to win debates. We speak
57:15
Speaker 1: truth to lead people to christ expect opposition. Jesus warned
57:21
Speaker 1: us that the world would hate us because it hated
57:24
Speaker 1: him first John fifteen eighteen to nineteen. If you stand
57:28
Speaker 1: for Christ, expect resistance, but take heart He has already
57:33
Speaker 1: overcome the world John sixteen thirty three. Stand firm in love.
57:38
Speaker 1: We are called to speak the truth, but always in
57:41
Speaker 1: love Ephesians four fifteen. That means we don't attack others,
57:47
Speaker 1: We pray for them. We don't argue endlessly. We share
57:50
Speaker 1: truth with grace and let the Holy Spirit do the work.
57:54
Speaker 1: So let me ask you. Are you standing firm in
57:57
Speaker 1: the truth of Jesus or are you compromising to fit in?
58:01
Speaker 1: Are you afraid to speak about Christ because of what
58:04
Speaker 1: people might say? Are you willing to follow Jesus even
58:08
Speaker 1: if it costs you everything? There always comes a moment
58:11
Speaker 1: of decision, a moment when you can no longer sit
58:15
Speaker 1: on the fence, no longer remain neutral, no longer delay
58:19
Speaker 1: the inevitable question that Jesus forces us to answer, Because
58:24
Speaker 1: if He truly is the Way, the Truth, and the life,
58:29
Speaker 1: if no one can come to the Father except through him,
58:33
Speaker 1: then what will you do about it? This is not
58:37
Speaker 1: just a religious idea or a philosophical debate. This is
58:43
Speaker 1: the single most important decision you will ever make, because
58:47
Speaker 1: there is no neutral ground when it comes to Jesus.
58:51
Speaker 1: You are either following him or you are not. You
58:54
Speaker 1: are either accepting the truth or you are rejecting it.
58:58
Speaker 1: You are either walking in life or you are dead
59:01
Speaker 1: in sin. Jesus himself made this clear. Whoever is not
59:05
Speaker 1: with me is against me, and whoever does not gather
59:08
Speaker 1: with me scatters Matthew, twelve thirty. There is no in between,
59:13
Speaker 1: no middle path, no way to simply admire Jesus without
59:17
Speaker 1: following him, because he didn't come to be admired, he
59:20
Speaker 1: came to be lord. Think of the people who stood
59:23
Speaker 1: at the foot of the cross the day he was crucified.
59:27
Speaker 1: Some mocked, some ignored, some wept, and some, like the
59:32
Speaker 1: thief on the cross, made a decision that changed eternity.
59:37
Speaker 1: He was moments away from death, Yet when he turned
59:39
Speaker 1: to Jesus and said, remember me when you come into
59:43
Speaker 1: your kingdom Luke twenty three forty two, he found salvation
59:47
Speaker 1: in his final breath. But what about you, What if
59:51
Speaker 1: to day is your moment to decide, the world will
59:55
Speaker 1: tell you that there are many ways to God, that
59:57
Speaker 1: truth is whatever you want it to be, that life
1:00:01
Speaker 1: is found in success, pleasure or self discovery. But Jesus
1:00:05
Speaker 1: stands before you today with the same words he spoke
1:00:09
Speaker 1: over two thousand years ago. I am the Way, the Truth,
1:00:13
Speaker 1: and the life. No one comes to the Father except
1:00:16
Speaker 1: through me John fourteen six. That means every other way
1:00:21
Speaker 1: is a dead end, every other truth is a lie,
1:00:25
Speaker 1: every other source of life is an illusion. Maybe you've
1:00:28
Speaker 1: been searching, wandering, questioning. Maybe you've tried to fill the
1:00:32
Speaker 1: emptiness with relationships, achievements, or distractions, but nothing truly satisfies.
1:00:39
Speaker 1: That's because you were made for more. You were created
1:00:43
Speaker 1: to know the way, walk in the truth, and live
1:00:46
Speaker 1: in the life that only Jesus offers. But here's the
1:00:50
Speaker 1: hard part. Surrendering. Following Jesus is not just about believing
1:00:55
Speaker 1: he exists. Even demons believe that James two nineteen. Following
1:01:01
Speaker 1: Jesus means laying down your own way, your own truth,
1:01:05
Speaker 1: and your own version of life and choosing his instead.
1:01:09
Speaker 1: It means trusting him even when you don't understand, obeying
1:01:13
Speaker 1: him even when it's hard, and staying faithful even when
1:01:17
Speaker 1: the world pulls you in the opposite direction. That's why
1:01:21
Speaker 1: Jesus said, if anyone wants to follow me, let him
1:01:25
Speaker 1: deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me
1:01:31
Speaker 1: Luke nine twenty three. This is what it means to
1:01:35
Speaker 1: truly follow Christ, not just once, not just on Sundays,
1:01:39
Speaker 1: but every single day. So let me ask you what
1:01:42
Speaker 1: is holding you back? Is it fear, fear of what
1:01:45
Speaker 1: you might lose, fear of what others will think, fear
1:01:49
Speaker 1: that you're not good enough to follow him? Is it
1:01:52
Speaker 1: pride the thought that you don't need saving, that you
1:01:55
Speaker 1: can find your own way, that surrendering to Jesus means
1:01:59
Speaker 1: losing control. Or is it deception, the belief that there's
1:02:03
Speaker 1: still time to decide later, that you can follow Jesus
1:02:07
Speaker 1: some day, but not today. The Bible warns us today,
1:02:11
Speaker 1: if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts
1:02:14
Speaker 1: Hebrews three point fifteen. Because here's the truth. None of
1:02:18
Speaker 1: us are promised tomorrow. The time to follow Jesus is
1:02:22
Speaker 1: not when you're ready. The time is now. The moment
1:02:27
Speaker 1: is now, The decision is now, because one day, every
1:02:32
Speaker 1: knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus
1:02:35
Speaker 1: Christ is Lord Philippians two ten to eleven. The question
1:02:39
Speaker 1: is will you bow willingly now? Or will you be
1:02:43
Speaker 1: forced to bow when it's too late. If Jesus is
1:02:47
Speaker 1: the Way, then following him is the only path to God.
1:02:51
Speaker 1: If Jesus is the truth, then rejecting him is rejecting reality.
1:02:55
Speaker 1: If Jesus is the Life, then apart from him there
1:02:59
Speaker 1: is only death. So what will you choose? We have
1:03:02
Speaker 1: created in depth explanation videos for every book of the
1:03:06
Speaker 1: Bible to help you go deeper in your faith. Each
1:03:10
Speaker 1: Deep Bible Stories video is designed to break down scripture
1:03:14
Speaker 1: in a way that is simple, clear, and deeply impactful.
1:03:19
Speaker 1: We also have ebooks on our website for some of
1:03:22
Speaker 1: our most popular videos. If you'd like this video to
1:03:25
Speaker 1: be turned into an e book, let us know in
1:03:28
Speaker 1: the comments. There comes a moment when truth is no
1:03:31
Speaker 1: longer just something we hear. It becomes something we must
1:03:35
Speaker 1: act on, a moment when we must decide whether we
1:03:38
Speaker 1: will accept what Jesus said or continue living as if
1:03:42
Speaker 1: his words were just another religious idea. Because this truth,
1:03:46
Speaker 1: this one statement from Jesus, changes everything. If he is
1:03:50
Speaker 1: truly the Way, the Truth, and the Life, then nothing
1:03:54
Speaker 1: else matters more than knowing him, following him, and sharing
1:03:57
Speaker 1: him with others. But this truth is not always easy.
1:04:01
Speaker 1: To accept the world wants options. The world wants to
1:04:05
Speaker 1: believe there are many ways to God, that truth is
1:04:09
Speaker 1: whatever we make it, and that life can be found
1:04:13
Speaker 1: apart from Jesus. That's why this message is so controversial.
1:04:17
Speaker 1: Jesus did not give options. He did not leave room
1:04:20
Speaker 1: for negotiation. He made it clear. He is the only way,
1:04:25
Speaker 1: the only truth, and the only life. And here's the challenge.
1:04:30
Speaker 1: Are you willing to stand by this truth even when
1:04:33
Speaker 1: the world rejects it. Think about Noah in a world
1:04:37
Speaker 1: that mocked God. He stood firm building an ark when
1:04:41
Speaker 1: no one believed judgment was coming Genesis six through seven.
1:04:45
Speaker 1: Think about Daniel, who refused to compromise even when faced
1:04:48
Speaker 1: with a lion's den Daniel six. Think about the early
1:04:54
Speaker 1: Christians who chose to proclaim Jesus as Lord even when
1:04:58
Speaker 1: it cost them their lives. Will you stand firm like
1:05:02
Speaker 1: they did? Will you proclaim this truth boldly even when
1:05:06
Speaker 1: people call it intolerant? Jesus himself told us that following
1:05:11
Speaker 1: him would not be easy. If the world hates you,
1:05:15
Speaker 1: know that it has hated me before it hated you,
1:05:19
Speaker 1: John fifteen eighteen. But he also promised that we are
1:05:23
Speaker 1: never alone and behold, I am with you always to
1:05:28
Speaker 1: the end of the age Matthew twenty eight twenty. So
1:05:32
Speaker 1: let's make this personal. What does this truth mean for
1:05:35
Speaker 1: you right now? Maybe you've been struggling with doubt, wondering
1:05:39
Speaker 1: if Jesus really is the only way. Maybe you've been
1:05:43
Speaker 1: afraid to share your faith because you don't want to
1:05:45
Speaker 1: offend anyone. Maybe you've been living as if Jesus is
1:05:49
Speaker 1: just part of your life instead of the foundation of it.
1:05:53
Speaker 1: But today is the day to walk boldly in this truth.
1:05:56
Speaker 1: If Jesus is the only way, then stop searching for
1:06:00
Speaker 1: another one. If Jesus is the truth, then stop listening
1:06:04
Speaker 1: to the world's lies. If Jesus is the life, then
1:06:07
Speaker 1: stop settling for anything less than what he offers. And
1:06:11
Speaker 1: if you've already made the decision to follow Christ, then
1:06:14
Speaker 1: don't keep this truth to yourself. There are people around you, family, friends,
1:06:19
Speaker 1: co workers who need to hear this message. There are
1:06:23
Speaker 1: people searching for truth and life in all the wrong places,
1:06:28
Speaker 1: not knowing that the answer is right in front of them.
1:06:31
Speaker 1: That's why we encourage you to share this video because
1:06:34
Speaker 1: this isn't just about theology. It's about eternity. It's about souls.
1:06:40
Speaker 1: It's about bringing people to the only one who can
1:06:43
Speaker 1: save them. If there is one moment that matters most,
1:06:47
Speaker 1: it is this one. A moment of decision, a moment
1:06:50
Speaker 1: of surrender, a moment where everything can change. Jesus didn't
1:06:56
Speaker 1: say he was just a good teacher, a prophet, or
1:06:59
Speaker 1: an option among many. He said he is the Way,
1:07:03
Speaker 1: the Truth, and the life. And if that is true,
1:07:07
Speaker 1: then the only question left is will you follow him.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: Let's take this moment to pray together. Heavenly Father, we
1:07:14
Speaker 1: come before you in awe of who you are. You
1:07:17
Speaker 1: are the creator of heaven and earth, the one who
1:07:20
Speaker 1: holds time in your hands. And yet, despite your greatness,
1:07:25
Speaker 1: you saw us in our brokenness and sent Jesus to
1:07:29
Speaker 1: be the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Lord, We
1:07:32
Speaker 1: thank you for this divine invitation to know you, to
1:07:35
Speaker 1: walk with you, to receive the life that only you
1:07:39
Speaker 1: can give. Jesus, you are the way. Forgive us for
1:07:43
Speaker 1: the times we have wandered looking for our own path.
1:07:47
Speaker 1: So often we try to make our own way, following
1:07:51
Speaker 1: the desires of our hearts, relying on our own wisdom,
1:07:55
Speaker 1: chasing after things that can never lead us to You.
1:07:58
Speaker 1: But to day we surrender. We lay down our pride,
1:08:03
Speaker 1: our plans, our self sufficiency, and we choose to follow You.
1:08:08
Speaker 1: Teach us to walk in obedience, to trust your direction
1:08:11
Speaker 1: even when it doesn't make sense, and to rest in
1:08:14
Speaker 1: the assurance that as long as we follow you, we
1:08:18
Speaker 1: will never be lost. Jesus, you are the truth. In
1:08:24
Speaker 1: a world filled with deception, where opinions are treated as
1:08:27
Speaker 1: truth and truth is treated as opinion. We cling to you.
1:08:32
Speaker 1: You are the unshakable foundation, the Word made flesh, the
1:08:37
Speaker 1: eternal wisdom of God. Lord. Reveal to us the areas
1:08:41
Speaker 1: where we have believed lies about ourselves, about our purpose,
1:08:45
Speaker 1: about who you are. Expose the deceptions of the enemy
1:08:49
Speaker 1: that have clouded our vision, and set us free with
1:08:52
Speaker 1: your truth. Give us discernment to recognize what is from
1:08:56
Speaker 1: you and what is not. Help us to stand firm
1:08:59
Speaker 1: in faith when the world calls us foolish. Let your
1:09:03
Speaker 1: truth be the compass that guides us in every decision,
1:09:07
Speaker 1: every relationship, every challenge we face. Jesus, you are the life.
1:09:12
Speaker 1: Without you, we are dead in our sins, separated from God,
1:09:16
Speaker 1: lost in the darkness. But because of you we have hope.
1:09:21
Speaker 1: Because of you, we have purpose. Because of You, we
1:09:25
Speaker 1: have life abundant and eternal. Lord, we receive that life. Today.
1:09:30
Speaker 1: We refuse to just exist. We want to live in
1:09:34
Speaker 1: the fullness of what you have for us. Breathe life
1:09:37
Speaker 1: into every weary soul, every broken heart, every discouraged spirit.
1:09:44
Speaker 1: Restore the joy that has been stolen, Renew the hope
1:09:48
Speaker 1: that has been lost, Revive the faith that has been
1:09:51
Speaker 1: weakened by trials. Father, we also pray for those who
1:09:55
Speaker 1: are struggling to believe, those who are questioning, those who
1:09:59
Speaker 1: feel far from you, those who have heard about Jesus
1:10:03
Speaker 1: but have never truly known him. Lord, Open their eyes,
1:10:07
Speaker 1: soften their hearts. Let them see that you are not
1:10:10
Speaker 1: just a distant God, but a loving Father who is
1:10:13
Speaker 1: calling them home. Break every chain of fear, every stronghold
1:10:18
Speaker 1: of doubt, every barrier of pride that keeps them from surrendering.
1:10:22
Speaker 1: Let them experience your presence in a way that leaves
1:10:27
Speaker 1: no room for uncertainty. Lord, we pray for boldness. The
1:10:33
Speaker 1: world rejects this truth, but we will not be ashamed
1:10:37
Speaker 1: of the Gospel. Give us the courage to proclaim your name,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: to stand firm in our faith, to live in such
1:10:44
Speaker 1: a way that others see you in us. Help us
1:10:47
Speaker 1: to love those who don't yet believe, to reflect your
1:10:50
Speaker 1: grace and patience, and to be a light in the darkness. Jesus,
1:10:55
Speaker 1: we thank you. We thank you for the Cross, We
1:10:58
Speaker 1: thank you for the empty grave. We thank you for
1:11:01
Speaker 1: being the only Way, the only truth, and the only life.
1:11:07
Speaker 1: May we never take this gift for granted. May we
1:11:10
Speaker 1: live in full surrender to you. We declare today that
1:11:14
Speaker 1: we belong to you. We will follow you as our way,
1:11:17
Speaker 1: We will trust you as our truth. We will abide
1:11:21
Speaker 1: in you as our life. We pray all this in
1:11:23
Speaker 1: your mighty, matchless name, Jesus. Amen. If this video has
1:11:29
Speaker 1: opened your eyes to something new, like and share so
1:11:33
Speaker 1: more people can come to know the truth about Jesus.
1:11:36
Speaker 1: Someone in your life needs to hear this. Someone you
1:11:39
Speaker 1: know is searching for the way, struggling with the truth,
1:11:43
Speaker 1: or longing for real life. Let them hear the words
1:11:46
Speaker 1: that can change everything. I am the Way, the Truth,
1:11:51
Speaker 1: and the life. No one comes to the Father except
1:11:55
Speaker 1: through me. We have created in depth explanation video for
1:12:00
Speaker 1: every book of the Bible to help you go deeper
1:12:03
Speaker 1: in your faith. Each Deep Bible Stories video is designed
1:12:07
Speaker 1: to break down scripture in a way that is simple, clear,
1:12:11
Speaker 1: and deeply impactful. We also have ebooks on our website

Speaker 1: for some of our most popular videos. If you'd like
1:12:20
Speaker 1: this video to be turned into an e book, let

Speaker 1: us know in the comments. It is our hope and
1:12:25
Speaker 1: prayer that this video awakens something in your spirit, a
1:12:30
Speaker 1: faith so strong that nothing can shake it. With that
1:12:34
Speaker 1: being said, may you walk in the way, stand in
1:12:37
Speaker 1: the truth, and live in the life that only Jesus
1:12:40
Speaker 1: can give. Stay blessed,
