“NTHWAY

THE ONLY WAY”,

it says on the numberplate. Again I saw the car with that numberplate today in front  of one of the many garages here in Kaitaia on my way to the shops.

I am sure it means that the way up north is the only way.

Bible readers, and I am a reader of the Scriptures, remember straight away that the Lord Jesus Christ says, that he is the only way to God the Father.

In John 14:6 the Lord Jesus Christ says that he is not only the WAY, but that he is also the TRUTH and the LIFE. He says also:

“NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.”

 1. The Lord Jesus Christ does not show us the way – he is not a signpost – he is “the Way”. – If we do not go “the way”, we are going astray and ruining ourselves.

2. The Lord Jesus Christ is not a teacher of the truth, he is “the truth”. – If we do not have the Lord Jesus Christ we remain in error and falsehood.

3. The Lord Jesus Christ is not a leader to life, he is “the Life”. – If we have the Lord Jesus Christ, we have eternal life.

I hope, I see the car with that numberplate  again and again to be reminded that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father. Jesus is the way because he is both God and man.
