In today’s pluralistic culture it is popular to say every religion provides a pathway to the Divine. The insistence that a single tradition is “right” seems reactionary, regressive and overly righteous. In the Christian faith, the belief in Jesus being “the way, the truth, and the life in which no one comes to the Father but through me” is a distinctive promise that provides hope beyond what other religions profess. When we recognize that as the truth, all other pathways are dead ends.

Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, and the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You’ve even seen him!”

John 14:6 (MSG)
