Hello Everyone
One way: Jesus. As humans gather on the plains of life, there is a collective cry that wells up as an insatiable thirst for truth and meaning that leads to fulfilment. It has been echoing in the earth since the greatest liar visited the creational home of humans and cast a shadow of doubt on ultimate truth. Since then, the cry for truth and meaning can be heard echoing in generations past, in the present age as a ceaseless hum chanted loudly and silently by every soul, and a rumbling cry that can already be heard in the yonder years. There is an answer, but it is exclusive in its claim. There is only one way: Jesus. John 14:6.
God has tapped His grand tuning fork and it reverberates with perfect heavenly pitch across all creation. God designed all of life to be tuned to Jesus who is the one perfect pitch for all things. Every note of life was designed to give distinctive expression to the great composer of life, Jesus. However, the original song became disharmonious and discorded as a result of sin. In this dysfunctional ensemble of people, there is a universal need for all of us to be re-tuned to Jesus and every life changed (or redeemed) in order to once again sing the inaugural anthem that God designed humans to proclaim. There is only one way: Jesus. Jesus is the only one credentialled to lift the veil of sin off our humanity and to let in the light of truth for all who turn to Him. Only Jesus can bring souls back into alignment with God. Only Jesus has personally answered the call to redeem the broken instruments in the orchestra of life; us. It is only in Jesus who alone can answer and respond to the quest for truth and re-tune souls to Himself because as Romans 11:36 tells us, everything finds its purpose in Jesus, “for from Him and through Him and for Him are all things”.
No matter how many worldviews claim that all roads lead to God, the resonation of truth is only ever finally found in Jesus. It is Jesus who conducts the grand story of life. It is Jesus who tells us of our origin. It is Jesus who defines the exquisite nature of our humanity and our identity. It is Jesus who gives us dignity, purpose and meaning. It is Jesus who describes the friction of sin that has changed the way the entire symphony of life was intended to be played and it is only Jesus who has prescribed the solution to our human dilemma by giving Himself as the answer when He personally gave up everything glorious, and pure, and suffered agonisingly in our place. Jesus will take our broken instrument if we offer it to Him and replace it with a new one when we ask Him to be our master (at His cost). No other god but Jesus personally performs and sings the song of truth right in the middle of the orchestra pit. It is only Jesus who plays the accompanying song of comfort for us during our days on earth. It is only Jesus who can restore us and open the gates to His eternal home where He will welcome His servants to sit at His feet to sing His forever song, in unison with the saints, to Him alone. This is the only way to play and hold the resolving chord of truth; one way: Jesus. All other “gods” are aloof and lip-sync to their own pre-recorded soundtracks of truth. Jesus is the song.
Do you know any other god who did this? Do you know any other way that so comprehensively answers the cries of our hearts and restores us under His hand of immeasurable grace where we had nothing in our hands to bring except instruments with broken strings? I don’t. There is onlyone way: Jesus.
So, friends, get your “one way: Jesus” on today.
Best days to come.
