John 14:6-7
⁶ Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. ⁷ If you have come to know Me, you will know My Father also. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Just about everyone has heard of John 14:6.
The Way, The Truth, The Life.
But how many people truly understand what Messiah is saying here?
Let’s dig into it and find out.

First of all, Messiah is telling us something very important; something that often goes unnoticed.
“…No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Why is this significant?
The church teaches us that Jesus is our destination.  We come to the foot of the cross, sit down, and stay there forever.  
Well, at least for the rest of our lives, and then we go to heaven.
But none of this is what scripture teaches.  It is all lies, just as Jeremiah predicted:
Jeremiah 16:19-20
¹⁹ O Yehova, my strength and my fortress,
My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”
²⁰ Will a man make gods for himself,
Which are not gods?

Let’s sort this out.
Scripture tells us that Yeshua [Jesus] is not the destination, but instead, He is the starting point.
We do not stay at the foot of the cross.
We begin there, but we must keep going.
Where are we to go?
To the Father.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
To the Creator of the Universe, and the Creator of all things.
That is where we must go, but we must go to the Father via Yeshua Messiah, just as He tells us in John 14:6.

Everything that Yeshua [Jesus] does is about the Father.
He does the Father’s will:
Luke 22:41-42
⁴¹ And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”
John 6:38
^{38 “}For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

Messiah also commands that we are to do the Father’s will:
Matthew 7:21
²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

Messiah teaches us how to pray to the Father:
Matthew 6:9-10
 ⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
¹⁰ Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

Everything that Yeshua Messiah taught had been taught before, and is from the Father:
John 7:16
¹⁶ Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. ¹⁷ If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
John 12:49-50
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Messiah always points to the Father:
John 12:44-45
⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵ And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.”

If you are one who believes that Yeshua Messiah changed the ways of the Father, please go back and read all the things He said (Red Letter Bible).  You will quickly find that He upholds and teaches the same things the Father taught.
And what, exactly, did the Father teach?
Yehova, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob taught us His instructions for living. It is all written down for us in the Torah, commonly referred to as the Law.
Most people today believe the Law is no longer applicable, but that is not what the scriptures teach us.  Yes, it is what men teach, but it is not what the bible says. {refer back to Jeremiah 16:19-20 if this is troubling to you].

What are some things we know about the Torah, the Law, the Word?
John 1:1-3
The Eternal Word
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He [Yeshua Messiah] was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

One thing we learn in the New Testament is that the Word has always existed, ever since the beginning.  What is ‘the beginning’?
Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Yes, “that” beginning. The only beginning.
From the very beginning of Creation, the Word has existed, and also Yeshua Messiah has existed.  This is what John 1 tells us.
But what do we learn later in John 1?
Are the Word and Messiah separate things?
John 1:14
The Word Becomes Flesh
¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

We learn that Yeshua Messiah is the Word become flesh.
Messiah is the living word!!
If the Torah is the will of the Father, that has existed since the beginning, and it is the Word, then by logic we can claim that Yeshua Messiah is the Torah in the Flesh, or the Law in the Flesh.
Is this possible?
Again, I give you John 14:6
⁶ Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. 
Yeshua Messiah is:
-The Way
-The Truth
-The Life
What do the scriptures say about the Torah.
Let’s find out!!
Psalm 119:1  TORAH IS THE WAY
Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the Torah of Yehova.
Psalm 119:142 TORAH IS THE TRUTH
Your justice is righteousness forever,
and Your Torah is truth.
Proverbs 13:14 TORAH IS THE LIFE
¹⁴ The Torah of a wise man is a fountain of life,
    enabling one to avoid deadly traps.
The Torah (The Law) is the way, the truth, and the life.
Messiah is the way, the truth, and the life.
Messiah is the Torah and the Torah is Messiah.
If we follow Jesus/Yeshua/Messiah/Savior ~ then we must follow the Torah, because they are one and the same.

If this idea is not registering with you, based on what you have been taught your whole life, please consider:
-Jeremiah 16:19-20 (again)
¹⁹ O Yehova, my strength and my fortress,
My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”
²⁰ Will a man make gods for himself,
Which are not gods?
-John 14:15 (direct quote of Messiah)
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
-John 14:21 (direct quote of Messiah)
“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
-John 15:10 (direct quote of Messiah)
¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
Messiah tells us three times in a row what we must do if we love Him.  If we claim to love Him, but do not keep the commands, then we are liars.
Sound offensive and wrong?
Please continue and read 1John 2:3-6 below.  This concept is established in scripture, and is not my idea, nor are these my words…

We are given this test in scripture to figure out whether or not we know Messiah:
1John 2:3-6
The Test of Knowing Him
³ Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. ⁴ He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God ^[a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
