John 14:6 — 'Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'
'The way.' Not a way. The way. There's a definite article in Greek that makes this exclusive. Jesus isn't one option.
'The truth.' Not just someone who tells the truth. He embodies it. Reality itself is wrapped up in him.
'The life.' Not a giver of life. The source. The well that all real life comes from.
And then the line that makes Christianity what it is: 'No one comes to the Father except through me.' Jesus isn't being arrogant. He's telling you the door so you can walk through it.
