Some Thoughts on Jesus—the Way


When confronted with the uniqueness and complete sufficiency of Jesus for salvation, I occasionally hear this from good folks—they often ask, “Well, what about…?” followed by a litany of other religions or philosophies as “another way” to salvation. They contend that a loving God would never condemn anyone to anything other than heaven.


I’m not God, and it's not my responsibility to judge. I am a follower of Jesus, and it’s my responsibility to be faithful to Jesus. To agree with the logic of this present age, I’d need to deny Jesus, who said:


“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)


We may not like it. We may not agree with it. But as followers of Jesus, we can’t change it. The Gospel is inclusive—


“All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (1 Corinthians 1:2) 


But the Gospel is also exclusive—


“No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)


The exclusivity of Jesus was the central theme of preaching in the first-century Roman world—which was a polytheistic, pagan culture of many gods. Once when he was being confronted about the exclusivity of Jesus, the Apostle Peter said:


“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to humanity by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).


Peter was giving his accusers an ultimatum. Jesus is THE Way. This surely offended them and offends many today. What about Moses, Muhammad, Buddha, and Krishna? To get along in the world, Peter must've known not to be too exclusive—instead of saying Jesus is the only way to God, he could have said Jesus is a good way, a great way, or even the best way to God—but he didn’t.


The offensive thing about Christianity is that it's the only way to be saved. The amazing thing about Christianity is that it’s the way to be saved.


That Jesus—is THE Way, my friends!
