I'm not so certain your interpretation of John 14 is totally correct

Tom,
It was not my interpretation. It was the KJV and ASV:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Other versions: NIV, NASB and NSRV say this:

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

YLT says:
Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

Supporting scripture:

John 10:9; I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture.

Rom 5:1-2; Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Eph 2:18; For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Heb 10:20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:4; In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

11:25; "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

1 John 5:20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true--even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
