Jesus claimed, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” How do we know this claim is true? Who is this Jesus that He could make such a claim? Unbelievers question “Isn’t it offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God?” The answer to that question is one of logic. “If we believe that the claims of Christ are true, claims in opposition to Christ cannot also be true!” As a believer, we ought to be raising this question: “Isn’t it hypocritical to trust in Christ and not believe He is the only way to God?” His death, if there is another way, is absolutely unnecessary.
The proof about Jesus is in His life and His resurrection. The Gospels tell us that Jesus is fully human and fully divine. Since Jesus is both human and divine, He is the only one capable of being our Savior. The message about Jesus both from His lips and the lips of others clarify that He is the Savior of the World. For example, to the woman at the well, Jesus said in reference to the Messiah, “I am He.” Thomas, for example, upon seeing the resurrected Christ, said, “My LORD and my God.” Then the miracles of Jesus confirm who He is, what He said about Himself, and what others said about Him.
So, what about you? Who is Jesus to you?
