The Road to Nowhere

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.’” John 14:6 NASB

            Where I currently reside (Berks County, Pennsylvania) there is a stretch of highway fondly named “The Road to Nowhere” due to the slow construction process which resulted in its incompletion. Today it is complete. You may have heard some say that “All roads lead to God, to Heaven and to eternal life.” But if that is the case, we need to carefully consider why Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

            If there are other roads to God and eternal life, how could Jesus make such a statement? He could make such a statement my friend because it is true. He was not mistaken, He was not lying to attract followers, nor was He out of His mind. He is God the Son who completed the road to Salvation by travelling the road to Calvary’s Cross, Dying and Rising again on the third day.

Jesus’s words on the cross were, “It is finished.” Any other road is “A Road to nowhere.”
