Good Morning Friends,
“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.’”
(John 14:5-6)
Jesus’ reply to Thomas is probably the most
offensive statement that Jesus ever made. It flies in the face of what people
today want to believe.
Today, people want to believe that there are
many ways to God and that you can have your way and I can have my way and we’re
both still okay. That may sound good, but it’s not true. Jesus said that there is
only one way to God and that is through Him!
A person can’t earn his way to heaven in any
way, not through good works, or generous giving, or religious ritual, or any
other way. Buddha won’t get you there. Neither will Mohammed. Following
Confucius leads to a dead end. Pick any other way that people think leads to
heaven and if it isn’t Jesus, they are following a lie. The only road to heaven
is the one following Jesus Christ.
That’s why sharing the Gospel is so important.
Without it, people are lost. If you had never met Jesus Christ, you’d be lost. You
might think you were following the right path, but, in the end, you discover
that you had been deceived.
There are only two paths to follow – Jesus
and the wrong way!
Follow Jesus, and at the end of the road you’ll
find just what He promised: heaven. Aren’t you glad you found Him!
His, by Grace,
Steve
