The only way to God?

The statement was…I just don’t believe that Jesus is the only way to God.

The question was….What do you think about that?

The answer is….It makes me sad.

Sad is ….

Believing that God came to earth, put on flesh, allowed himself to be beaten beyond any other human tolerance, flesh ripped from his body, ridiculed, spit on, climbed on a cross, was nailed to it, suffocated and suffered until he died…for you…for me…for EVERYONE. We didn’t earn it or deserve it. He did it because He loves us.

And His death would have been in vain if the statement remains “I just don’t believe that Jesus is the only way to God”

Sadder is….

Going through your whole life never knowing the kind of love that “believing that Jesus is the only way to God” gives you.
