The Only Way

 

[Drawing of Jesus on the cross with words superimposed]


“I am the way and the truth and the life.”
—John 14:6

In a world of political correctness, we are supposed to maintain a tolerant openness to all religions. We are to accept the concept that all religions provide a pathway to God.

Even religions who describe a god very different than the God described in the Bible, we are to assume that all religions worship the same god.

But, like it or not—and, frankly, many don’t like it—Christianity teaches that the only pathway to a personal, eternal relationship with the Triune God is through His one and only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Notice how specifically Jesus responds to Thomas’ question in John 14:5-6:

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Let us begin this new day grateful that in His mercy, grace, and overwhelming love God has revealed to us the Way to new life through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
