How Can We Know The Way
By Pastor J. C. O'Hair
After
we read concerning the divisions and subdivisions in Christendom, we are not
surprised that many are perplexed and bewildered in the midst of the religious
confusion of the day. Doubtless many are today joining with Thomas to ask the
Lord, "How can we know the way?" John 14:5. If you are asking this
question, hear the Lord's answer: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." John 14:6.
Christ
Himself is the Way. He is not a way; or one of many ways to God. Christ is the
one and only way to God; to salvation; to heaven.
"BY
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY, WHICH HE HATH CONSECRATED FOR US,
THROUGH THE VEIL THAT IS TO SAY, HIS FLESH." Hebrews 10:19, 20.
A
Person is our Saviour and our Salvation. A Person is our life-giver and our
life. A Person is our Redeemer and redemption. A Person is our righteousness and
holiness. A Person is our peace and our hope. That Person is the Lord Jesus
Christ, "the Man Christ Jesus," the one Mediator between God and men.
By His blood we have been brought nigh to God.
We
need nothing more than Christ; nothing less will suffice or avail. To add any
religion whatsoever to Christ Himself is to displease God. In Christ dwelleth
all the fulness of the God head bodily. In Christ are hid all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Christ
Himself; accepted in Christ; without condemnation in Christ; the righteousness of
God in Christ. The believer is blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ.
Christ is the superlative need of the world. He is all that you need, but you do
need Him. You must have Him, or be lost forever.
