Today's Verse: John 14:6

I don't want to be any more exclusive than Jesus. I also do not want to lower Jesus' standards for finding God, being with God, and sharing eternity with God. I do want to hear Jesus' voice and obey what he calls me to do and what he tells me is true. Jesus came to reveal the Father and make him fully known (John 1:14, 18). Jesus tells me (in this passage) that the only way to the Father is through him. I must also know that others must know him to find their way to the Father through him, as well. How can we be less than passionate about those around us who do not really know Jesus as their Savior, Redeemer, Brother, and Lord? How can the first four books of our New Testament lie unread when they tell us Jesus' story? How can we trust anyone or any claim that there is another way to God without Jesus? All the rationalizations aside, we must believe and know that Jesus came and gave himself to provide us a way to the Father. How can we look for any other way? We must not! Instead, let's draw near the Father through the Son, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
