I am the way, the truth, and the life

The sermon examines Jesus's sixth "I am" declaration in John 14:6, analyzing the statement in response to Peter's question about where Jesus is going. The preacher argues that the emphasis of the verse should be read as three separate declarations—"I am the way," "I am the truth," "I am the life"—with the structure forming an inclusio that brackets the statement with "I am" at the beginning and "me" at the end. Supporting points include the contextual setup in John 13:36, where Peter asks where Jesus is going and offers to follow, and Jesus's prediction that Peter will deny him three times before the rooster crows.

Scripture: John 14:1-6, John 13:36-14:6
