Yo soy el camino y la verdad y la vida (Juan 14:6).
Esas palabras de Jesús son relevantes para quienes esperan vivir para siempre en la Tierra (Rev. 7:9, 10; 21:1-4). ¿Por qué decimos eso? Jesucristo es “el camino”, es decir, es la única persona por medio de la cual es posible acercarse a Dios. Por eso, cuando oramos, tenemos que hacerlo en su nombre; solo así nos concederá el Padre lo que le pidamos conforme a su voluntad (Juan 15:16). Pero Jesús también es “el camino” en otro sentido. ¿En cuál? Pues bien, el pecado abrió una brecha entre Dios y la humanidad (Isa. 59:2). Por eso, Jesús tuvo que “dar su alma en rescate en cambio por muchos” (Mat. 20:28). En consecuencia, su sangre “nos limpia de todo pecado”, como explica la Biblia (1 Juan 1:7). Así, el Hijo abrió el camino para que nos reconciliáramos con el Padre (Rom. 5:8-10). Si ejercemos fe en Jesús y le obedecemos, podremos tener una buena relación con Dios (Juan 3:36).
Sunday, May 8
I am the way and the truth and the life.—John 14:6.
Jesus’ words have meaning for those who hope to gain everlasting life on earth. (Rev. 7:9, 10; 21:1-4) How so? Jesus Christ is “the way.” That is, he is the only one through whom it is possible for us to approach God. This is true in the matter of prayer, for only by praying through Jesus do we have the assurance that the Father will give us whatever we may request in harmony with His will. (John 15:16) However, Jesus is “the way” also in a further sense. Sin has alienated mankind from God. (Isa. 59:2) Jesus gave “his soul a ransom in exchange for many.” (Matt. 20:28) As a result, the Bible explains: “The blood of Jesus . . . cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) The Son has thus opened up the way of reconciliation with God. (Rom. 5:8-10) It is by putting faith in Jesus and obeying him that we can have an approved relationship with God.—John 3:36.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
