Radical Exclusivity
The Words of Jesus often draw significant lines in the sand. These lines, no matter how difficult they may be to accept or understand, must be acknowledged by those that seek to walk in the ways of the Lord. In John 14:1-6, Jesus draws a radical line of exclusivity. This line is so significant, that eternity is in the balance. There are two destinations: eternal damnation or eternal life. Jesus says that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no one comes to the Father but through Him. If this is true, then it should give us a radical urgency to point everyone we know to the one who provides the Way to the Father. He identifies Himself as the only way, the only truth, and the only life... This stands to reason that seeking those things outside of Christ will produce nothing by disappointment at best, and damnation at worst. Join us as we explore the ramifications that this passage holds to those who profess faith in Christ and those that don't.
