Gospel Hope in Christ Alone | John 14:1-9

Summary

As the whole of scripture testifies, John 14:1-9 reveals Jesus as the unchanging source of hope in a world of uncertainty, offering himself as the way, the truth, and the life to a world searching for meaning. Through his exclusive claim, Jesus provides a sure hope that anchors our souls, offering not only forgiveness but also adoption into God’s family and abundant, eternal life.
