b'Is Jesus really the only way?\\nIt depends on what you mean. The only way to what?\\nHe is certainly not the only identity. People manufacture identitiesfor themselves all the time, from wealth to work to religion to romantic relationships. If you want identity in life, you have options.\\nHe is not the only source of community. Careers can provide community. So can family. Or the Flat Earth Society. Humans form communities everywhere, out of every situation.\\nJesus is certainly NOT the way to financial success or material wealth. In fact, His followers very often live in poverty.\\nSo what is He the only way to?\\nJesus is the full and complete revelation of God Himself, the Being who created all of reality (John 10:25-30; Hebrews 1:1-3). Jesus is the only way we can know God. We can\\u2019t get there through science, or philosophy, or religion. We have to know Jesus personally.\\nThat\\u2019s why He came to dwell with us (John 1:14). Simply put, Jesus is the only way to eternal life. He rose from the dead, beating death forever. As Christians, we look forward to when He will raise our bodies to life; we will dwell forever with God and His people (Revelation 21:1-5). We have a guarantee of our resurrections because Jesus has already risen and because He sent His Spirit to dwell in us (Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Timothy 1:14).\\nSo Jesus isn\\u2019t the only way a person can try to go, but He is the only way that matters in the long run. Religions will die, movements will end, politicians will be disgraced. But Jesus lasts forever. \\u2022 Kevin Zeller\\n\\u2022 Reread today\\u2019s Scripture passage.
