Taking Jesus At His Word 2 of 3

Taking Jesus At His Word

Objective: To encourage disciples to be fully present in their relationship with God.

John 14:6 New Living Translation… Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me”.

Introduction: The naked truth is uncomfortable, which makes it often ignored.

Transition: Aletheia (Greek): truth that is reality; unhidden/revelation. Verity/fundamental principle; irrefutable.

Exposition: What Jesus has revealed in this statement is that…

-Truth will tie you up (verses 8-11) and free you up (verses 12-14)

Reference John 8:32 “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

‌-Truth will either drive you or draw you

Conclusion: Trusting Jesus should be easy because Jesus is the truth. However, Trusting Jesus is often difficult, because the truth challenges us to change.
