The Way – John 14:6

I kid with friends that all roads lead to my house.  There are at least half a dozen different ways you can get to my house; my mom tells me I take her down a different one every time I am driving. There are many routes you can take and get to the same destination. Just pick a way.

Many people look at getting to heaven in this way. They believe they can pick a path and as long as they are true to it and believe fervently, it will lead them to Heaven. Sure they see Jesus as "a" way, but they do not see Him as the only way.  To them it is all about being "spiritual", they believe that God will understand and accept them.

The Bible teaches us that Jesus is "the" way to Heaven (Acts
4:12). It leaves no room for other ways (Exodus 20:3). As a matter of fact Jesus himself said that if any man tried to get to Heaven another way, he would be a thief and a robber (John 10:1).  There are only two options: Heaven through Jesus Christ, or Hell without Him!

Some will say I am being close minded and intolerant. Call it what you will; your belief or my belief does not change the truth. It is time we stop trusting in what we believe and start seeking the absolute truth.  2 + 2 in a base 10 system will always equal 4: there is but one answer.  Even so there is but one way to Heaven, Jesus Christ.

Do you believe Jesus is the way? Or do you buy into your feelings and your own beliefs?  Know this, if you do not believe He is the only way then you call Him a liar. If you call Him is a liar then He is not in you (1John
2:22). If He is not in you, then you better be right about there being another way; there are no second chances in Hell.

Follow truth, follow the way; follow Jesus Christ!
