Jesus: the Only Way to God by John Piper:
"If the evangelical church at large was ever too confrontational in its evangelism, those days are gone. In our shrinking, pluralistic world, the belief that Jesus is the only way of salvation is increasingly called arrogant and even hateful. In the face of this criticism, many shrink back from affirming the global necessity of knowing and believing in Jesus. In Jesus, the Only Way to God, John Piper offers a timely plea for the evangelical church to consider what is at stake in surrendering the unique, universal place of Jesus in salvation.
The price is right: I'm getting my copy!
Great expression! A major challenge is that people seem to miss that Christ wasn't just a "messenger", He is the MESSAGE. Jesus is God's "word" (aka articulated concept) to the world.. His desire for ALL of humanity and not a new brand of pharisee.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work... we are working with you to exalt Christ too.
Just as there is no legal way to enter into an physically intimate relationship without consent (being the only way)
And Entry into a residence isn't legal without consent
We need consent to enter into an intimate relationship with God and consent to enter into the Kingdom of God
and Christ is God's articulated CONSENT.
