John 14:5–7 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

John 18:36–38 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I wasborn and for this purpose I havecome into the world……

to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

John 20:1–18 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not knowwhere they have laid him.”……

3 So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He sawthe linen cloths lying there……

7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to theirhomes……

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know wherethey have laid him.”……

14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her,“Mary.”……

She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen theLord”—and that he had saidthese things to her.

Don’t all religions lead to God?

All religions can be wrong……

All religions can be wrong…….….. But they can’t

all be right.

All religions are basically the same expect in the areas of God and salvation and the nature humanity and the afterlife and sacred text and that kind of stuff. On the big issues they are very, very different.

Isn’t that intolerant and arrogant?

Legal tolerance.

Legal tolerance.Social tolerance.

Legal tolerance.Social tolerance.Intellectual (or moral) tolerance.

If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all these religions contain at least some hint of the truth. When I was an atheist I had to try to persuade myself that most of the human race have always been wrong about the question that mattered to them most; when I became a Christian I was able to take a more liberal view……

But, of course, being a Christian does mean thinking that where Christianity differs from other religions, Christianity is right and they are wrong. As in arithmetic - there is only one right answer to a sum, and all other answers are wrong: but some of the wrong answers are much nearer being right than others.

What about those who never heard about Jesus?

If the God of the Bible is real then we can trust that in His character: He is utterly good, utterly just, and utterly fair.

Eventually, everyone asks this one question: “What is truth?”

But why Christ?

Just about every religion teaches that the solution to live by codes, rules, commandments, etc.

Religion is essentially a manual on how to reach God.

Jesus turns the whole thing topside down.

Man can never reach God……

Man can never reach God…………Therefore, God came down to man’s level to reach man.

Christ paid a debt he did not owe, because we owe a debt we cannot pay.

Jesus is the only way for God to reach you.

Each of us are forced to consider the empty tomb.

Jesus is the only way for God to reach you.

Unconscious and awash in the surf that was attempting to drown me. I was saved by the cross.

- Clarence Sanford

The question isn’t: Is Jesus the only way?

The question is: What will you do when you look in the tomb?

Jesus is the only way for God to reach you.
