It is written in John 14:6, that Jesus said this, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

One of the most common interpretation for this verse is that salvation is through Christ, and Christ alone. Only through Jesus, may we be reconciled with the Heavenly Father, and only through Jesus, may we enter the gates of heaven.

True as that interpretation may be, I believe Jesus meant something more than just us securing a room/house in heaven through Him.

When Jesus said what He said, I believe He meant two other things as well-- that we present our prayers and requests through Him to our Father in heaven, and that He is the only way to the place of solace.

Feeling troubled on a certain day, I came to Jesus in tears. And His reply to me was the above. Whatever we may be burdened with, we can always be assured that we can hand the burdens to Jesus. He will bring our prayers to the Father. Whenever we feel helpless, and perhaps, a little wanting in hope, Jesus provides us the way to the place of solace, where we can seek comfort, healing, and that bit of hope we need.

Finally, Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." (John 14:1)
