I Am The Way and The Truth and The Life | I Am (Week 6)

Grace Fellowship Church

Has this ever happened to you? You're having a spiritual conversation and someone hits you with "Well, all religions basically lead to the same God anyway, right?" Or maybe you've wondered that yourself when considering the vast array of world religions and beliefs about God that exist. If so, then you'll want to watch this thought-provoking sermon from Pastor Rex as he tackles one of Jesus' most controversial statements head-on: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Right off the bat, Pastor Rex shares an explosive encounter he had with an angry student who vehemently objected to the idea that Jesus is the only path to salvation. You'll be captivated as the pastor re-enacts this hostile back-and-forth over the "fairness" of an exclusive truth claim like Jesus'. As he dives into unpacking this verse, you'll quickly realize this is no shallow Sunday speech. Pastor Rex goes to profound depths, answering some of the most vexing questions surrounding Jesus' declaration: • If Jesus is the only way, what about all the people who lived before Christ? How were they saved? (You'll be amazed by the biblical solution) • What about young children and those with mental disabilities who can't comprehend the gospel? Do they have a chance? (Prepare to have your assumptions challenged) • But what about the unreached peoples who have never even heard about Jesus? Is God unfair to those who simply never had the opportunity? (You may be surprised by the answer) With gripping real-life examples and rock-solid scriptural support, Pastor Rex carefully yet decisively dismantles the popular notion that all spiritual paths lead to the same destination. You'll come to understand why sincerely believing something doesn't make it true, no matter how noble it may seem. At the same time, you'll be deeply assured that God's ways really are higher, perfectly just and drenched in unmatched mercy. Even if you've wrestled with doubts, you'll walk away with a fresh confidence that the difficult truths Jesus spoke are trustworthy and good. But more than just clarifying thorny controversies, this sermon lands a powerful challenge: Will you respond to the light you have? Because Jesus left no room for complacency. He is the only legitimate way, truth, and life. All other paths ultimately lead nowhere in relation to knowing the Father. If you've ever sensed a nudging to seek the one true God more fully...if you're unsatisfied with safe, shallow faith...if you're hungry to encounter Jesus in a newer, richer way - then don't miss this sermon. It could very well re-spark or re-orient your spiritual journey onto the one path that leads to abundant life. In a world of countless counterfeits and dead-ends, here is a timely reminder that there is indeed one way that is true, trustworthy, and able to lead any sincere heart into eternal relationship with the Father. Prepare to be realigned, re-centered, and re-awakened to the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. We pray this message from April 7, 2024 will bless you!!
