This is a saying that we’ve all heard, and there really are many roads that lead to Rome. But that’s exactly where the problem begins.

Once when I was driving from Rome to an appointment, I missed the right exit off the highway and was forced to take a gigantic loop around to get back on track. I got delayed and was stuck in rush hour traffic. I missed my important appointment. What a wasted day; all my traveling had been in vain.

Much more serious consequences result when we get on the wrong track in life. That’s why Jesus reminds us that he is the only way, the only truth, and the true life, and that only through him can we come to God. This statement is so extreme that it is still met with a lot of resistance today. The religious leaders burned with anger at the very thought of accepting Jesus as the Son of God. They wanted to secretly silence Him. But Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead. 

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 14:6

Absolutely nothing and no one can destroy God’s plans and His promises. Only one road leads to God: Jesus Christ. Do you believe this?
