He is THE Only Way

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.’” John 14:6

A prominent movie celebrity remarked during an interview that he had been reared in a Christian environment but rejected Christianity as an adult. “There are billions of people on this earth. How can any one group of people make a claim that their way is the only way? I just can’t believe that.”

He is not alone in his thinking. Multitudes reject the notion that faith in the person of Christ is the only means by which a man can approach God. “Surely,” they reason, “the diverse throng of tribes, cultures, and nations cannot all be expected to walk the same spiritual path. They must have their own unique staircase to the heavens.”

Logically carried to its conclusion, the way to God depends on individual preference. God then is approached in millions of ways - each way right in the eyes of the seeker. Absolute truth then is nullified. God is whatever we make of Him. What if mathematics were subject to a similar logic? Would two plus two equal five in Albania, sixteen in Norway, and eight in Canada?

The Bible strikes at the heart of such nonsense. It claims Christ is the only way because He is the true way - available for all people everywhere (John 14:6). Truth demands one way. Jesus is the Way.

“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life...” Matthew 7:14
