Daily Devotional for January 19
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” (John 14:6)
The Singular Hope for Humanity
Jesus Christ, in His profound declaration, encapsulates the essence of our hope – He is the way to God, the embodiment of truth, and the giver of life.
The Way to God
Sin created a chasm between God and humanity, disrupting the intended harmony of our relationship with the Creator. Jesus bridges this gulf, perfectly fulfilling God’s moral law and offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice. In Him, the relationship we were created for is restored, reuniting us with God.
The Truth from God
Jesus’s life was a living sermon, revealing the character of the Father and the reality of our condition. He is the truth in the flesh – demonstrating God’s plan for redemption and highlighting our deep need for salvation. In Him, the truth about God and our need for redemption is vividly portrayed.
The Life
Beyond teaching about life or providing a means to life, Jesus is life itself. He addresses our spiritual death, offering resurrection and eternal life through His victory over sin and death. His resurrection is the promise of a new life for all who trust in Him.
Hope in Jesus
Our hope, both for today and for eternity, rests firmly on Jesus. He offers what we cannot attain: a restored relationship with God, a clear understanding of truth, and a life transcending death. In Him, we find the fullness of hope.
