~ Jesus Christ Is The Only Way! ~
One
Way ~ Have
you ever heard someone say something to the effect of “All roads lead to
heaven,” or “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your are
sincere.” That may be someone’s
opinion—but does that matter? What is
important is what God says. Jesus
Christ—one member of the Triune God—told Thomas, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except
through Me” (John 14:6b).
Jesus
Christ is the only way to
heaven! He is also the source of all truth, and the source of all life.
Spiritually dead people cannot comprehend any of these great facts. When a person is born a second time
(spiritual life added to their physical life), then they get it. Once they have it, they have a deep inner
peace—which is the subject of this passage (John 14:1-6).
Throughout
recorded history there has been only One who came from heaven to live amongst
us. Only One Man has ever lived a
perfect sinless life. Only One Man
qualified to die in our place to pay the penalty of our sin. Only One Man rose from the dead. Only One is now seated on the right hand of
God. Only One has paid the penalty of
your sin. The fully-God and fully-human
(while on earth) Jesus Christ—The Messiah.
Don’t Miss This ~ It
is not a question of whether or not you will bow before this One. Rather, the question is when will you bow
before Him. There is coming a time—which
many believe is not far away—when you will not have the choice to bow to Him as
your Savior. After that you will bow—but
to Him who then is your Judge.
Old Testament ~
“Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out
of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, ‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and
strength. To Him men shall come, and all
shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him’” (Isaiah
45:22-24).
New Testament ~ “For
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall
bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.’ So then each of us shall give account of
himself to God” (Romans 14:10-12).
the key question:
“Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). This is the most important
question you will ever answer. If you do not answer it, or answer it
incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
