When You Feel Lost, There Is One Way Forward

Most of us have been there — the moment when the plan falls apart, the relationship fractures, the diagnosis comes in, or life just stops making sense. You're not physically lost, but something inside you feels completely unmoored. You don't know what to do next. You don't know who to trust. You barely know what to believe anymore. And in those moments, there's no shortage of voices telling you which way to go. In John 13–14, Jesus is sitting with His disciples in the hours before His arrest — and they are unraveling. He's told them He's leaving. He's told them they can't follow. Everything they thought they understood about what He came to do is suddenly in question. And into that confusion, Jesus speaks one of the most direct and remarkable statements in all of Scripture: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6, CSB). This is Part 5 of our I AM series at Newbreak — a San Diego church with campuses in Tierrasanta, Scripps Ranch, and Ocean Beach — and this week, we're asking what that statement actually means for us today.
