One day when I was in downtown Chicago, I hailed a taxi. Once inside, I noticed several advertisements for a New Age guru posted on the seat in front of me. The driver claimed that this mystic was the divine one for our day. He believed that God appointed various leaders throughout the ages, and that Jesus had merely been the appointee for His time.
Of course, I had to disagree. As we talked, I mentioned Jesus words: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6). Contrary to the cabbies belief, Jesus was not just one in a series of enlightened religious leadersHe is the only way to know God, and only through Him can we get to heaven.
As the Son of the living God (Matt. 16:16), Jesus didnt simply declare Himself to be the ultimate spiritual authority. He proved it with His death and resurrection. Christ offered one sacrifice for sins forever (Heb. 10:12).
Jesus said of Himself: I am in the Father and the Father in Me (John 14:11). Therefore we dont need to investigate any new path of salvation. Its better to learn all we can about Christ; He is the only One who can provide spiritual certainty.
Read: John 14:1-11
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
