WHICH WAY?
By Rick Mathes
John 14:6 (NASB77) 6 Jesus •said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
You have to deal with this. Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic or Lord and you can’t escape this decision without getting into denial this question even exists. You can block it out or ignore I but believe me it will never go away, never. So which way do we go and why? Let me name just a few.
A needed way: Apart from Jesus’ salvation from the Cross what is there to save us from the punishment we clearly deserve. The alternative of not having any way to turn but into the flames is unthinkable!
A new way: Believe me, I tried every conceivable way possible next to suicide to stop the madness that was selling up in my mind and hammering my old dead heart.
A finished way: He spoke a seven statement sermon from the Cross until He finally gasped, “Tetelestai;” it is finished, paid in full! From the very lips of God He assured us of a salvation that even the gates of Hell could not prevail against. There is nothing left to do. Your salvation is complete.
A personal way: The road to heaven begins at a turnstile. We go through it one soul at a time. You see, you will be standing before the Lord all by yourself as He reviews your faith and works in Him and then you get in.
A free way: You can’t buy a ticket one way to heaven because there is no charge or anything you’ve done or can do that will get you in. He paid the price in full and bought and owns you. You don’t owe Him anything for what is already paid for. Just sign the check or freedom and cast it in.
A blessed way: We don’t need lessons in the cursed ways of the devil. We have been there so that any benefit that comes from His hand in unmerited and unearned It is a blessing beyond belief and we will have eternity to bless Him back with our praises and worship.
An unfailing way: God doesn’t fail. Satan has no authority to disrupt His purposes any more than darkness can obliterate the light.
Only way: Anyone and everyone who refuses to confess that Jesus is Lord and does not believe God raised Him from the dead will not be saved. They have nothing but an eternity of blistering flames and unending dying to look forward to. No matter who they are, or how close they are to you or how kind and considerate, they have a fate of endless horror unspeakable!
