Sunday’s Blessing – 04/13/2025 – Palm Sunday – I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life

This Sixth Week of Lent, also known as Palm Sunday, brings us to I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So far, Jesus has revealed Himself to be the Bread, the Light, the Door, the Good Shepherd, and the Vine. Some might say that “the Door” and “the Way” are basically the same thing. I disagree. The Door is simply an ingress/egress; a means of getting into or out of something. In some sense of the word, “the Way” could also indicate a means of entry or exit. However, I believe Jesus was speaking of something much more broad and deep. The other words coupled with “the Way” give us insight as to what Jesus was trying to communicate. “The Way” speaks our entire life. Christianity has been referred to as “The Way” throughout history. Jesus was saying that He was the pattern by which we are to order our life. When you add “the Truth” and “the Life”, you see the quality of that life.

Truth is liberating. When you are operating in Truth, you are exhibiting the ultimate freedom. There is no guilt or regret. There is no need for remorse. Truth needs no excuse. With “the Life”, Jesus was explaining that the zoe (God kind of life) is what He brings to everyone who will believe.

The sixth I AM to consider is found in John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (ESV)

In order to get to God the Father you have to be “in” Christ. We become a part of Him when we are saved, born again, or whatever you call the process of regeneration. It’s the moment the Holy Spirit baptizes us into Christ. As Paul described in Ephesians 1 and 2, we are identified with the death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and seating of Jesus. This was a great demonstration of love and power shown by the Father when the Son was given as a sacrificial lamb to pay the debt for our sin, then raised Him up again, defeating death, hell, and the grave. The Father literally moved heaven and earth to make a way for us to be reconciled back to Himself.

Palm Sunday was the beginning of the end for Jesus. He entered Jerusalem that day and would not leave again until He was resurrected!  

Now for this week’s blessing:

May you experience the joy of welcoming Messiah with shouts of Hosanna

Which means, “Save now”, knowing that He hears and responds

So that you may walk out your destiny with assurance that God is with you

Just as He was with Jesus

May you rejoice as Jesus enters your life, bringing hope and peace

So you may live each day in fellowship with the Father

Living in unfettered relationship with Him

As you walk with Him, and commune face to face as friend with friend

May you keep the reality of God’s presence in your consciousness

Always aware that He’s closer than the air you breathe

And more real than the ground upon which you stand

And your future is sealed in Him

May you find ways to include others in your journey

Sharing with them the hope you have found in Christ

Allowing them to see the Kingdom of God in you

And bringing them into the Kingdom with you
