Summing up the sum thus far
We have been looking at the sum of all things and that is Jesus and we have seen.
He is the way to a better life
He is the way to forgiveness of sins
He is the way to God
He is the way out of religious confusion a
He is more than about Christmas
May we remember
The good and perfect gift from above from the Father is the Son and today we are going to look at how Jesus is the way to eternal life.
Our eternal life, our eternal hope is a future hope and a present reality.
But can’t stop there
Jesus wants us to know eternal life, John wants us to know eternal life, just one more
And Jesus came to give us eternal life and we will expand on that today.
The Why Jesus is the Way
When we were kids we probably asked “why” a lot I know I did, and it is OK to ask why when it comes to Jesus too.
If we know why, then we can inquire about how and we can come to a place of belief.
One of the first ways He is the way is that He prepared the Way
Jn14:
and He is the way (expand on this: His way is via the cross)
Prepared the way to the place prepared by the Father
Jn14:
One day He is going to return, the day and the hour we do not know but we do know the promise
Our eternal life starts here; but we have our future hope for the eternal home in heaven.
We cannot neglect the why Jesus is the way because if you don’t chose Him there are consequences.
The why, is God is just and judgment is coming, the separation of sheep and goats is going to happen and from there
Mt25:31
It’s a sobering thought and a reality and it is everlasting
Eternal fire, eternal punishment but eternal life for the righteous.
Jesus is the way to eternal life and that was via the cross, and Jesus is the judge too.
for God is just and given judgment to the Son and the Son will judge by the Word
So vital, so important, so eternal that we be found acceptable in His sight
Jesus is the way to life, to eternal life and eternal life is in Him look at this.
eternal life in Him in which there is no tears, no more death, no more mourning, crying or pain.
Couple this with
The Lord almighty, the Father and the Lamb (Jesus) are the temple, and Esus is the lamp for those who have eternal life in Him.
He provides life, eternal life and the water of life
Jesus: The way to eternal life is described in these passages as
The bridgebroom
The temple
The lamp (or light)
The source of the water of life
Wonderful words of life that bring eternal life, Does it, the promise, the way excite you like it did Paul
In the midst of a fallen world, in the throws of persecutions and pressures he was of good courage
Jesus speaks, teaches about eternal life
II.
Jesus words on Eternal Life
A prepared place by a prepared way that leads to the way
The way is available to all, and God’s will is that all would come, Peters inspired words say such.
You cannot fake your way, or talk you way in.
The story in Mt22 (Parable of the marriage feast) states such - it did not end well for the wedding guest who was not properly prepared
Mt22:
The parable of the 10 virgins (Mt25:1-13) points out the same thing, we need to be prepared , how do we prepare you may ask? - By doing the fathers will.
Mt7:21-
we need to be diligent in knowing what we have in Eternal life which is in Jesus so we do not stumble
For the alternative is not good, in fact it is hell
Mt25:
That terrible place prepared for the devil, the beast, the false prophets and the fallen angels and people who are not in the Lambs book of Life.
- you can read more on that in Rev20:10ff but to carry on with a definition of those who are not in the book
So be sure to enter by the Way Jesus prepared (the cross) to the Fathers house in which He prepared by the narrow gate.
Don’t be lead off into destruction.
those who do not obey the gospel the scripture addresses
We have looked at the Why Jesus is the way, we have looked at the What Jesus has to say about the way, now how about the how, we need to know the how.
III.
How Jesus is the way to Eternal Life
How is Jesus the way to eternal life
For life is in Him
He is eternal life to those who believe
To the one who believes and obeys
He provides for those
Remeber it was the Father who sent the Son
He is life to the one who hear
We were dead in our transgressions and sins but Christ made us alive and gave us eternal life.
God’s will is for you to have eternal life
His words bring eternal life
and the spirit brings life through the word
Jn6:
See Jesus came to give life by laying down HIs life
and the life He gives is an abundant
We started today is JEsus is the way
and I want to end with this
That as Christ gave to the Apostles and we hold in our hands today the way to know the only true God and the Christ in which He sent.
So we may have eternal life.
(Lead to invitation) - Eternal life with God is available; to all who come by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Eternal life is what you have today and are promised of the hope of future home when you are in Christ.
