Many Roads That Lead To God.

We said, No, were from Texas

We said, No, were from Texas. He said, Oh, Texas, really? What brings you to southern California? We said, Well, we are meeting with some churches. Im a pastor. He looked at me like, What? I said, Yeah, Im a minister in a church.

He said, Thats cool, man, thats cool. He said, in between bites of his California roll, I think there are many roads that lead to the ultimate destination. I think there are many paths that lead to God.

I think when it comes to spiritual matters, a lot of us have that sushi bar theology, dont we? A lot of people make that sushi bar statement, There are many paths that lead to the ultimate destination. There are many ways to get there. However, God has constructed a highway, Highway 146, right through that sushi bar theology.

Jesus said these words about the highway, Highway 146, in John 14:6, I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Of all the statements uttered by Jesus, none of them are as outrageous and as in your face as Highway 146, when Jesus said about how to get to God, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No one gets to the Father except by me.

We have no problems when Jesus talks about his divinity. We think its great that God became flesh and dwelt among us. But when you consider Jesus exclusivity, Whoa! Thats narrow-minded.

Thats intolerant. I cant believe anyone can think that. You mean to tell me, with all the billions of people in the world, that Jesus is the only way to God? I cant believe Christians say all that stuff. They are being superior. They are acting like they are a member of this little elite country club. They are the white hats and the other people are the black hats. Thats not true.

Christians, as T.D. Niles so profoundly said years ago, are simply a bunch of beggars telling other beggars where to find bread. Im just repeating to you what Jesus said. I didnt make it up. If you have a problem with it, talk to him about it. We try so hard to synchronize the world religions, dont we? This statement though, this Highway 146 deal, breaks Christianity out of the pack. It separates it from all the rest.

I thought that I would just pick up the phone, (this is random), and call George W. Bush and just tell him thank you. So I am just going to start dialing numbers and Ill probably reach him. So just hold on. Okay, here we go. Im just dialing random numbers. Ill bet I reach him.

Ed Young Ministries says I might just make another call. No, I guess I wont. See, Im just dialing numbers. Im not making prank calls. Im just dialing numbers. I dont know George Ws personal phone that reaches his residence. There is only one number that reaches his residence and I dont know it. But to sit here and say, Well, Ill just randomly dial and surely Ill get George W. Bush. That is a pipe dream. Thats a joke.

People say, Oh, yeah, there are many roads that lead to God. Thats like saying I can just dial any number and get George W. Bush. There is one number, and Jesus said, Its Highway 146. Jesus didnt say, Im an option. Im a possibility. He said, I am THE way, singular, THE truth, and THE life. No one gets to the father except through me.
