Not everybody is going to heaven, but rather only those who have trusted Jesus Christ.
Acts 4:12- "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Jesus does not simply teach the way or point the way to heaven; He is the way.
John 14:6- "Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
This statement "No man comes to the Father except through me," wipes away any other proposed way to heaven- good works, religious ceremonies, expensive gifts, etc. There
Application:
Growing Up in Sunday School the song 'One Way' by Hillsong Kids was an all-time favorite for many of my peers as it was full of energy and had exciting actions. Unfortunately, as kids, we overlooked the power within the words of the song and the truth about who Jesus was. Now, 'One Way' is more than a song but God's Word put to music so that we might praise Jesus for His Grace and share that He is the Only Way!
Does your life reflect the Only Way? How have you seen God give you grace this past week? Along with singing that Jesus is the one way, how can you share this truth with others today?
