John 14:6 has not only been a challenge, but has been a thrilling joy. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” What a confession that was! …
He not only said, “I am the Way,” but He said, “I am the Truth,” or, “I am the Reality.”
When I saw that word translated Reality, it gripped me.
Jesus is the answer of the age-old cry of the human spirit for Reality.
One translation of Romans 1:25 reads, “For they exchange the reality of God for the unreal” [Weymouth’s N.T. 1909].
Satan is the God of vanity. The major pleasures of the Senses of natural man have no actual reality in them.
There is no reality in the moving pictures, in the dance hall, in gambling, or in drinking.
There is nothing in them that the spirit of man can feed upon. Satan has not given to man one thing that has in it any permanent value.
The pleasures of the Senses perish with the using.
When Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Reality, and the Life,” He was pointing to something that is different.
In John 16:13 Jesus said, “When he, the Spirit of Reality, is come, he will guide you into all Reality.”
Jesus is the Way into the thing that the heart has craved through the ages — Reality.
It is a strangely realistic truth that no one who has ever actually found Eternal Life, has ever turned to any other religion.
The metaphysical religions that are born of the senses have no appeal for the man who has found Reality.
The human heart can find no Reality outside of the man Jesus.
The New Creation is real.
Our fellowship with the Father is real.
The Word is a real message to the spirit of the New Creation. We walk in the light of Reality.
Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Reality, and the Life.”
