Jesus is the Only Way

Read pages 71-75 of Stephen Canup’s book, "Knowing Jesus Intimately: A Relationship of Love-motivated, Spirit-empowered Obedience," which is available for free reading in Pando Books and Edovo.

TAKEAWAY HIGHLIGHT

“As long as Jesus is one of many options and ways to heaven, He is no

option at all. As long as you can carry your own burdens, you don’t need a

burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive

no comfort. And, as long as you can take Him or leave Him you might as well

leave Him because He won’t be taken half-heartedly.” Max Lucado

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Prayerfully consider this: if Jesus is not the only way, why would God

the Father make Him go through arguably the cruelest form of torture

and death ever invented? If He is not Who He said He was, He is a liar,

or a maniac or worse, and would not be worthy of any kind of following

whatsoever. Also, he would not be “a good teacher” or “a prophet”. For

great background on why Jesus is the Only Way, check out the writings

of Josh McDowell, "More than a Carpenter," and Lee Strobel’s book, "The

Case for Christ."
