Is Jesus Exclusive?

Is Jesus Exclusive?

Bible: John 14:1-12

Reading

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except

I once saw a Christian being interviewed on the telly. The interviewer asked, “Are you one of those Christians who believe that Jesus is exclusively the only way to heaven?” He added, “You know how mad that makes people these days!” Without blinking she replied, “Jesus is not exclusive. He died so that anyone could come to Him for salvation.” What a great answer! Christianity is not a special club limited to the few people who fit perfectly. Everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they come from.

While this is true, Jesus’ words in John 14:6 continue to offend. Jesus is the only way—the only option that works. All of us are guilty before God. We are sinners and cannot help ourselves. Our sin had to be dealt with. Jesus, as God in skin, died to pay the penalty for our sins and then rose from the dead. No other religious leader offers what Jesus provides in His victory over sin and death.

The gospel of Jesus is offensive to some, but it is the wonderful truth that God loves us enough to come and take care of our biggest problem— sin. And as long as sin is the problem, the world needs Jesus!

HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS:

JESUS IS THE SAVIOUR FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE.
