John 14:6 raises questions for people when they see Jesus saying "no one comes to the Father but by me". They ask, well what about those who lived prior to Jesus or who never heard about Him? John 5:16-30 makes it clear that Jesus will judge all people at the end of history, including the dead who did well and those who did not. And He declares that He will judge rightly, so in that way all who do come to Heaven will come there through Him - through His right judgment of their heart and deeds.
"Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart." (I Sam. 16:7)
