inclusive or exclusive?

Preaching Sunday on John 14: 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Is it an inclusive or an exclusive text? Does the Church sometimes push the cult of Jesus and view this as an exclusive text with the focus on “No one” rather than the inclusive ministry of Jesus where “through me” is a description of Grace?
