Intro: I know that Christmas can be a sentimental time. We live in a culture that keeps trying to ignore Jesus Christ and the Word of God. Here are the results of this type of faulty thinking:There is more than one way to GodThe gospel is too exclusiveGod is a loving God and won’t send anyone to hellOrthodox Christianity is arrogantOur culture and some religions want all of us to adapt a view that God is ok with anything. All you have to do is live a good life…whatever that means Would you agree that we live in confusing and uncertain times:Health concernsEconomic concernsPolitical concernsTheological concerns Jesus “I Am” statement in John 14 clearly tells us the He is fully God and fully man. It also is clear that there is only one way and one way only to be right with God the Father. Jesus Gives Assurance During Uncertain and Confusing Times v. 1-4Assurance and peace and comfort come by trusting God the Father and God the SonJesus brings peace through His promisedJesus Is the Only Way to God the Father v. 5-14″I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”Repentance and faithWhole hearted trust in the Person and work of Jesus ChristThere is NO other wayIllustration: the ripping of the curtain in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holiesAdapted into the Family of God through the Holy SpiritForgiven and  set free to obey ChristIf you want to know God the Father, you need to know personally The Lord Jesus ChristLook at the incredible communion and relationship between the Father and the SonHebrews says that Jesus is the exact representation of the FatherIf you see and know the Son, you have seen and known the FatherJesus ends this passage with a great promises:”Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works  I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.””I will do whatever you ask in my name so the the Father may be glorified in the Son.
