The Way, the Truth, the Life

with The Rev. John Sundara

What is eternal life? Far more than a distant promise, Jesus defines it as knowing God the Father through Him. In this sermon, we explore Christ’s powerful words—“I am the way, the truth, and the life”—and what it means to enter into a real, living relationship with God. Through Jesus, we are invited into the Father’s love, His home, and a life that begins now and lasts forever.
