The Focus
by Dennis Wheeler
Jesus never claimed to be one of many ways to God. In fact, He made many exclusive statements such as..."I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6 - NLT)
Of course you will hear folks say things like..."all religions lead to God" or "all roads lead to heaven." Well, if that's true then that would be like saying in order to call home all you need to do is simply dial any seven digits you choose. All calls end up in the same place. Wrong! If you want to call me at my home...there is only one set of numbers that works...467.4234.
The truth is, Jesus is the Savior for all. He did not die for only a certain type of person. He died for the world He created. He desires a relationship with people of every color, every language, every culture in every country in the world.
Yes...what Jesus said is 'exclusive' but He is also incredibly 'inclusive'!!
And as His children we are commanded to go to the ends of the earth and shout to everyone that 'God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.'
Let's be faithful to this command as we journey towards Easter!!
