“I am the way and the truth and the life”. – Jesus

On Sunday the 7th of May 2023 the Reverend Hazel Goodfellow preached at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church in Port Elizabeth. The sermon was based on John 14: 1-14 with particular emphasis on v 6 where Jesus taught “I am the way and the truth and the life”. I can confidently say that all of us who heard the reading and sermon were blessed. So, I asked the Rev. Hazel if I could put her sermon on my blog and she graciously agreed. I shall read the passage from the Gospel and I shall also read the sermon notes verbatim that the Rev. Hazel kindly gave me.  Omitted are some interesting ex tempore additions.

I trust that all who listen to this blog will be blessed and encouraged. Thank you Rev. Hazel. To God b the glory.

What do these two words mean? How do we use them? Why is it important to know what they mean in discussions? Are there two meanings to the word “believe”? Why is it important to understand the differences? The two related podcasts below discuss these questions.
