John 14:6 – I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life – 0508A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0508A recorded on March 14, 1982 teaching from John 14:6 – I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens centers on the profound statement from John 14:6, where Jesus proclaims, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Stevens dissects these three powerful claims, first presenting “the way” as the sole exit from life’s confusing “maze,” contrasting God’s righteous path with the destructive path that “seemeth right unto a man.” Next, “the truth” is defined not as changeable human philosophy or religion, but as the final, complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, replacing the temporary system of Old Testament animal sacrifices for sin forgiveness. Finally, Stevens interprets “the life” not as a moral example to be copied, but as a spiritual power to be ingested, becoming the illuminating force and inner peace that activates human potential, comparing unempowered humanity to a beautiful but motionless machine awaiting fuel. The overarching purpose of the sermon is to urge listeners to embrace Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to gain peace, forgiveness, and the dynamic power of God’s life within them.
