Jesus said, “I am the Way.”

From Amir Tsarfati's Weekly email newsletter:

Jesus said, “I am the Way.”

The world today is trying to convince us that more is better. The more genders, the better. The more pregnancy options, the better. Even the more belief systems there are, the better, because the broader the path that one can follow, the better. While this all may sound appealing and inclusive, it has one major problem – they can’t all be true.

One belief system says you have to have good works outweigh the bad to enter paradise. Another believes paradise is a state of consciousness that can be arrived at only through meditation. Another claims reincarnation and says that the life you live each time can eventually lead you to a higher plane of existence. Others hold that a series of rituals must be diligently practiced in order to arrive in paradise. As much as the world would like to say they are all true, contradiction of belief and practice says they’re not.

Again, to say all paths lead to one destination is the practical equivalent of saying all freeways take you to the same city, or all flights end at the same destination. You have to get on the right freeway or board the right flight that coincides with your desired destination. It might be appealing to think that no matter what you believe you’ll end up in heaven, but it’s not true.

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