Who is the rock on whom God’s salvation is built?
This is what the Lord GOD says:
“I will put a stone in the ground in Jerusalem, a tested stone. Everything will be built on this important and precious rock. Anyone who trusts in it will never be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6
Jesus did not merely show the way to God; he said, “I am the way.” He did not claim merely to know the truth; He said, “I am the truth” He did not merely point to the abundant life; He said “I am the life”
Therefore, if there is no Christ, there is no way to God, no truth about God and no vitality.
How could Jesus make such claims?
If He was only a man, His claims are preposterous. But if He is who He claims he is, and if he did what he said he would do, his claims make sense. Jesus claimed to be God and to have come to earth to die for our sin. We deserve to die for our own sin, but Jesus died in our place. He who was sinless accepted the guilt of our sin and died for us. No one else could do it, but He did. Thus He literally became the door by which sinful men and women can approach the Father.
