“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!” Deuteronomy 6:4 Who’s who and what’s what? We live in a time of uncertainty, and it is important that we know and understand what we believe and why. It seems to be getting to be more and more politically incorrect to believe and preach that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Religious tolerance is being touted by the media and political leaders with an “accept all beliefs” attitude.
In the Bible, there is a story about a King named Sennacherib. He had the vision of world conquest, including Judah. His plan was progressing fine until Hezekiah refused to surrender and sent word that Judah was trusting God to save them. Sennacherib reminded Hezekiah that no other God had saved his people from conquest so far. Hezekiah’s God would not deliver him. Was he right or wrong? Hezekiah’s God DID deliver him.
The God of Hezekiah was able to perform what He had promised. A real God can do real things. It isn’t just all talk and ideas. Theology is just a bunch of ideas and words unless it has a God that is alive and powerful. How many gods are there? Which ones are most powerful? Remember, Paul said all idols (other gods) are demons. Politically incorrect? Of course it is. Proclaiming Jesus as the only way will always be.
Matthew 28:2-7 “And then there was a great earthquake. For the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his garments were white as snow. The soldiers shook with fear of him and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here. For He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead, and indeed, He is going before you to Galilee. There you will see Him. Listen, I have told you.”
Before they died.
Muhammad said, “I don’t know the purpose of life.” Buddha said, “Seek the truth.”
Confucius said, “I am not the way.”
Muhammad, Buddha, and Confucius are still in their graves.
Our GOD Lives!
Jesus is the only one who rose again!
Jesus is the only one with the power over death!
Jesus is the only way to the truth!
Acts 2:24: “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because death couldn’t keep its hold on him.”
John 14:6 “Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
The love of God is extended to you everyday. The Lord’s grace is equal to anything you might face today. Walk in faith and be blessed. You are highly favored in God’s eyes. Afterall, He sent his son to die for you even while you were yet a sinner. His love knows no limits and His blood cleanses from all sin. With God on your side what can stand against you?
