Some historians clump Christ with Muhammad, Moses, Confucius, and other spiritual leaders. But Jesus refuses to share the page. In John 14:6 Jesus declares, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” He could have scored more points in political correctness had he said, “I know the way,” or “I show the way.” Yet he speaks not of what he does but of who he is: I am the way!
His disciple Peter announced, “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” Believe in yourself? No. Believe in him. Believe in them? No. Believe him. And John 3:16 promises to those who believe in him, they shall not perish but have eternal life. Believe in him. Believe in the One he sent.
