Jesus is Key

  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6

 Confession Time. There are some things in the bible, I honestly hope the biblical interpreters got wrong. John 14:6 is one of those.

 As we get older if life, people we care about pass away. Awesome people. Parents, Grandparents, Children, Family and Friends. When we lose a loved one, we always have internal conversations about life and death, heaven and hell, and whether we will ever see those amazing people again.

 So many people hold on to their belief that because their loved ones were kind, generous and loving, they surely went to heaven. Even if none of them ever came to know, love and follow Jesus.

 I hope (for your sake) that Jesus really said, "One of the ways, to come to the Father is through me." You see, if they got the translation wrong, then you're right, and everyone we care about will be waiting for us in heaven!

 The reality is that Jesus says "The only way to the Father." His many teachings and followers back this up throughout the bible.

 Most people believe in Jesus the person. An amazing, caring man. The world's greatest spiritual leader. Someone who fought for every soul that he could during his time here on earth.

 Jesus wanted so strongly for you to embrace his message, he laid down his short life so that you could wake up and come to know his truth and the true way to heaven. Jesus was so amazing that everybody on this planet knows who he is and what he claimed to be. I think even most non Christians can agree that to be Christ like is the most noble thing.

 The truth is, as Christians know, Jesus was much more than that.

 You see the reality is that you can't get to Heaven on your good deeds alone and neither did your relatives. As nice as you are, as generous as you are, nobody can make this journey on their own.

   We are all born in sin and break God's Commandments repeatedly throughout our lives. Using God's standard, we are all found guilty and not to be good people. After all, what do you call someone on earth who constantly break the law and does whatever they want, contrary to our laws? What happens to those people when they are brought before a judge? Does the judge care that they claim to be "good" person? Will the judge go easy on them because they seem nice? Why do you suppose it will be any different in Heaven?

 For your sake, and for Heavens sake, I pray you will come to know Jesus as the Son of God also.

 Take that first step and, cometh to him, heareth his sayings, and doeth them.
