JOSH BOOTSMA

You’ve probably heard it before: “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6).

In a world that highly values inclusivity, Jesus’ brazen statement seems profoundly exclusive. It rubs us the wrong way. Who is Jesus to say how we are to approach God?

It’s popular to deny this exclusivity. “God will reward me if I’m a good person.” “All religions are similar so what does it matter if I choose one over the other?” “God’s love is enough for me--I don’t need Jesus.” You’ve probably heard all of these sentiments.

Here’s the problem: Jesus, the very person who gave His life to save us and understands more about our sinful problems than we ever will, says otherwise. If you were seriously injured, would you push away the doctor trying to save your life so you could try to save it your own way? Obviously not — the doctor is the way!

When we begin to understand our sin and the perfect God whom we’ve sinned against, we start to balk less at the idea that Jesus is the only way to God and we start to wonder why God would provide a way to Himself at all.

Jesus loved his undeserving people so much that he died for them. He sacrificed himself in order to wipe our dirty, broken, sin-filled selves clean. If you are a Christian, your life will be marked by the joy of knowing “The Way” — Jesus Christ. If you are not a Christian, know that there is only one avenue down which you can be saved. It’s free to travel and will give you greater joy than you’ve ever known.
