My mom and I were recently visiting my Grandmother, who lives in an assisted living home.  One of the faithful workers were being promoted.  (Rightfully so!)  He’s a really hard worker.  His joy is contagious as he connects so beautifully with the residents.  Not to mention, he wears a cross around his neck.  Surely, this man knows Jesus, I thought.

As he sat down to talk to us, I just had to ask, “Tell me when you came to know Jesus!”

So he shared his story…  God was mentioned MANY times.  Buddha was even mentioned.  

Not once did I hear him mention, Jesus.  

After 20 minutes, I felt I had earned the right to ask, “Who is Jesus to you?”   He never really answered.  He just kept telling me his life story.

Who is Jesus to you?  Like this VERY kind, joyful, hardworking, cross-wearing, devout man –  is Jesus just one of the boys to you?

One of the boys, like:

• Buddha?
• Allah?
• Confucius?

You’ve heard the analogy, “God is at the top of the mountain.  All denominations and religions are merely trying to get to God at the top of the mountain.  As long as you’re sincere in your faith, you’ll go to God’s heaven when you die.”

The Bible is clear: “Salvation is found in no one else.  For there is NO OTHER NAME given to mankind by which we must be saved.”   JESUS!  He’s not one of the boys! 

In fact, while other religions insist their followers must climb the mountain of good works to their Deity, OUR GOD, sent salvation: JESUS, DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO US!

This is boot camp, girlfriend.  NO CONFUSION.  Jesus is NOT one of the boys.  In the event that you too may be confused – get it straight.  Jesus is only THE only WAY to God.
