Jesus is THE Way!

Dec. 22, 2014 Monday Message:

Jesus: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 1:14:6 NIV

There is a fairly common but incorrect belief, that a good person doing the best they can, will certainly see eternity with the creator. Jesus says otherwise.

God doesn’t grade on a curve; it’s “pass/fail!” No one has ever been able to keep God’s law perfectly. The Bible says that, “All have sinned and fallen short…” In fact, the best use of the law is to make us aware of our shortcomings and our need for a redeemer.

That’s why Christmas is such good news. Jesus came to rescue us! “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV

So the fact that we all need Jesus to be with Father God in eternity wasn’t just Jesus’ idea – it was God’s plan all along!

Jesus: “I have come so that everyone would have life…” from John 10:10 CEV

Merry Christmas!
