After a conversation I had with Laura today, I am a little worried. OK, a lot worried. Terrified. My first emotion was confusion. then more confusion. then sadness, and later Anger. It seems to be a growing trend that ministries are teaching that Jesus is not the only way to salvation. In John 14:6 Jesus says "I am the way the truth and the life, and no one gets to the father except through me" What's amazing about being a Christian is the intimate relationship we have with God. So many other religions are based upon fear and good deeds. God wants us for who we are, after all- He created us. Thats where Jesus comes in. He was sent to earth as a living sacrifice. He gave up his life so that we could live eternally with our Father. The only way to God is through him.
Yet people are preaching something different. I suppose saying that you can get to God through any Religion, is a saftey net. This way your not offending anyone or making yourself seem close minded. What they are preaching reminds me of Shane Claiborne's book Irresistable Revolution. His "motto" is Love God. Love People. Follow Jesus. It's like they saw the first part and threw out the part about following Jesus.
Jesus- I want to be like you. You are perfect in every way. Help me show others your sacrifice for us, and how God's Love and will is for all people.
