John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, etc.] Our Lord takes the opportunity of this discourse about the place he was going to, and the way unto it, more fully to instruct his disciples concerning himself, saying, “I am the way”; Christ is not merely the way, as he goes before his people as an example; or merely as a prophet, pointing out unto them by his doctrine the way of salvation; but he is the way of salvation itself by his obedience and sacrifice; nor is there any other; he is the way of his Father’s appointing, and which is entirely agreeable to the perfections of God, and suitable to the case and condition of sinners; he is the way to all the blessings of the covenant of grace; and he…”

“I am the way - See Isaiah 35:8.

“To the question concerning the way, he answers, I am the way. To the question concerning knowledge, he answers, I am the truth. To the question whither, I am the life. The first is treated of in this verse; the second, Joh 14:7-17; the third, Joh 14:18, &c. John 14:7”

“14:6 I am: See study note on 6:35. Access to the Father’s presence is only through Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. • The way to the Father is only through Jesus. Other religions and philosophies propose different avenues to God, but Jesus asserted that he is the one exclusive path to God. • Jesus is the truth because God is truth. • God is the source of eternal life. At Lazarus’s tomb, Jesus showed his divine power over life and death (11:25).”
