John 14:6

One of the great lies of this world is that there are many paths to God. It is true, yes, that our personal paths in Christ will vary, and we must “work out your own salvation” but such does nothing to change this truth: the path is Jesus.

The redemption, healing, restoration and forgiveness which we all desperately need and desire is only to be found in Him—and His finished work on the Cross—not a lifetime of efforts at anything. Such is humbling to our pride and destroys our hope in self…not an easy thing but a fact all the same. And Jesus minces no words about it; He makes an explicit and exclusive claim here. So the question every man must answer for himself is whether or not Jesus is a liar; for if we suppose there is some other path to God, some other religion or effort that will get us there, we make Him a liar. And we must be careful. It is quite easy to know this and say this as a matter of doctrine, but be deceived all the same; for in our own hearts, we may be secretly trusting self, even as we carry out religious observances and disciplines.

No, this is not a popular message in the world. It’s not very nice and inclusive. It comes across as dogmatic and perhaps even self-righteous no matter how humbly communicated. What can I do about it? I am not truth nor did I say it. It is only my job to reflect His truth into a lost world, as it is. The world can do with it as it will, as it always has.
