We can come only

through Him to be with Him forever.

Who Knows What to Believe?

Pilate, the Roman governor who condemned
Jesus to death, anticipated the excuse many
people today make for not believing what Jesus
has said. He asked, What is truth? or, in other
words, Who knows what is really true? The
driver wanting to get to Milwaukee wouldnt
have been any more satisfied with the answer
Who knows? than he was with Any direction you want. Will you respond to what Jesus
Christ has said about Himself?

The Wisest President Who Ever Lived

Hundreds of people wanted a piece of Abraham
Lincolns attention. Greed, lust for power, and
hunger for the spotlight brought many people to
the president. Lincoln, a keen judge of character,
became skilled at exposing their hypocrisy, lies
and posturing. A favorite method involved posing
a riddle to the scam artist. Lincoln would ask, If
you call the tail of a calf a leg, then how many legs
does the calf have? When told the answer
was five, Lincoln would respond, The calf
only has four legs. Calling the tail a leg
doesnt make it one.

Sincerity Is All That Matters

Many people claim there are different ways to get to heaven that are equally
valid. They think as long as people are
sincere in their beliefs, they can believe anything they want and God will accept them. A
friend of mine had a customer at a gas station near
Chicago that insisted that any sincere, good person could believe what they want and then go to
heaven when they die. When they were through
discussing religious things, the customer asked
the way to get from Chicago to Milwaukee. My
friend answered, Drive in any direction you want.
As long as you are sincere, youll get there. Pre-

The Wisest One Who Ever Lived

No one has ever lived whos wiser than the Lord
Jesus Christ. His words, when asked the way to
God the Fathers house, were, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by Me (John 14:6). Head in any
other direction, trust in the instruction of any
other person, count on receiving eternal life
in any other way and we will never arrive
in the Fathers house in heaven. Jesus
Christ is not merely an interesting or
wise historical figure with a personal
opinion, but the always-existing Son
of God who came to save mankind
from their sins. The Jewish people clearly
understood His declaration of Himself as
God when He said, Before Abraham was,
I am (John 8:58). He said, The Son of Man
is come to seek and to save that which was
lost (Luke 19:10). He died on a Roman cross,
was punished by God for the sins of others, and
shed His blood, which cleanseth us from all
sin (1 John 1:7). Then He rose from the dead,
went back to heaven, and sent an invitation to us:
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
