The Way

Thursday, March 22. 2018

In John 14, Jesus talked to His disciples about heaven and about preparing them a place there. They didn’t quite understand it, though, and they responded by saying that they didn’t know the way to get there. This was Jesus’ response:

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

Jesus is the way to heaven. He didn’t say I am A way to the Father but THE way. In this crazy world of all-inclusivity and tolerance, many people think that there must be a multitude of ways to get to heaven. But that’s not what the Scripture says. I believe that God is perfect and that the Bible is His true message to us. Therefore it must be perfect as well since it came from Him. Conclusion: Jesus is the only way to get to heaven. 

Does that put any responsibility on those of us who believe this? 

I think it does. If we know people who believe otherwise — and I dare say we probably all do — and if we don’t share the truth with them, then who will? 

LORD, thank you for providing the way to heaven and for telling us so plainly that it is through you. Help us to share this wonderful news with everyone we see.
