Jesus - THE Way!

Oct. 1, 2018 Monday Message:

(Jesus speaking:) “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

A lot of people like this verse, but some disagree. They think heaven should be more inclusive. Surely there are good people in other religions and in other parts of the world where Christianity isn’t the prominent faith.

But those of us with a high view of scripture believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, not something to be debated. Jesus is not saying that he is a way, as in one of many ways. God appointed him to be THE way, as in the one and only way.

Heaven doesn’t grant salvation by grading on a curve. “Pretty good” isn’t good enough. Mankind is plagued with sin: “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory,” and even a little bit of sin is unacceptable in the presence of the Father.

Fortunately for us, Jesus has us covered. In the Great Exchange, Jesus took the sin of the world upon himself, and clothed the believers in garments of white – pure and wholly acceptable before the Lord.

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, the one who is THE WAY!
