It means that communications, prayers and supplications directed to the Father will only be heard by those whose faith and trust is in His Son. Those whom Jesus knows, personally... whom His Father has given to Him... and whom Jesus acknowledges to His Father that HE KNOWS THEM [Matt.7:23].
"Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I deny before My Father which is in heaven." (Matt.10:32-33)
"All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." (Matt.11:27)
As "intolerant" and "hateful" as the world may think it to be: According to The Bible... the common belief among many religions that all men ultimately worship the same God, and that there are many paths to salvation through any number of gods, isn't true. One's faith and trust in Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and to His Father in heaven.
Another Response:
When Jesus is quoted as saying, "No man comes to the Father but by me," he can be understood as referring to obedience to his own teachings as well as to the attitude and actions of love by which followers of Christ are distinguished.
For example, in Luke 8:20 and 22, Jesus says, "My Mother and my Brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it." And in John 15, Jesus says, "This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you."
When read and understood in this manner, the requirements of Jesus of Nazareth are identical with that of the Hebrew prophet, Micah 6:8, "What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?" So by the sacrificial life and death of Jesus Christ, the way "to the Father" is open to any and all persons - not only men or only members of a particular religion or race - who follow (live) in the way of justice, kindness, humility and love.
