Jesus is the Way (John 14:1-14) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

How do you get to Heaven? This is a question that has been asked throughout the ages, but the answer is spelled out quite clearly in Scripture. Jesus asserts that Himself, explaining that HE is the only way to salvation and eternal life. He explains that He is one with God the Father, and that He is the source of all truth. Some things in life have multiple methods or instruction manuals, but the directions to Heaven are direct and simple!

There are people who claim that there are many ways of obtaining salvation or accessing God. However, Jesus Himself here reminds us that there is only one way to the Father, and that is through Him. We do not and cannot somehow “earn” salvation on our own. Nothing we do will help us. The death and resurrection of Christ is the only way to life, but it’s quite an easy one! He has done the tough work for us. We simply believe and receive His blessings.

John 14:1-14 NIV  "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.  (2)  My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  (3)  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.  (4)  You know the way to the place where I am going."  (5)  Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"  (6)  Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  (7)  If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."  (8)  Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."  (9)  Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?  (10)  Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.  (11)  Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.  (12)  Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.  (13)  And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  (14)  You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
