The Christian are saying that Jesus says "I am the Way"

The Christian are saying that Jesus says 
"I am the Way"
-[John 14:6] -

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

They interpret the above verse to mean that Jesus is God and that no one shall enter into heaven except if they worship Jesus. This is not the case, as the full context of this statement is given just a few verses earlier:

- [John 14:2] - "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you".

He said that in God's mansion there are "many" rooms. Jesus was sent to guide to only one of them. The countless other rooms were reserved for other tribes and nations if they would obey their messengers. However, Jesus was telling his followers that they need not worry themselves about the other rooms. Anyone from among his people who wished to enter into the room which was reserved for them could only do so if they followed Jesus and obeyed his command. So Jesus confirmed that he was going to prepare "a" mansion and not "all" the mansions in "my Father's house". Further, the verse clearly states that Jesus was the "WAY" to a mansion. He did not say that he is the "DESTINATION" which would be the case if he were God. This is indeed confirmed in John 10:9 where Jesus tells us that he is "the door" to "the pasture."
