Jesus Christ declared “I AM the Way,” but clearly, not everyone believes Him. What are we all afraid of? The evidence for Jesus and His great works are well documented both in and out of the Bible. The evidence for His crucifixion on the cross, the empty tomb three days later, and His appearances to over 500 eye-witnesses after his resurrection is very compelling. Jesus fulfilled over 300 messianic prophecies written in the Old Testament scriptures. With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the reliability of the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, both of which have been proven to exist prior to the time Jesus walked on the earth, you can be assured that there prophecies were not “conspired” after-the-fact. They were truly fulfilled by the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Actually, if you look at the polls, most people aren’t afraid of Jesus at all. They’re afraid of Christians. Look at the way many Christians act, and who can deny this fear; arcane rituals, flamboyant preachers, money, power, hypocrisy. Do these present a real picture of who Jesus Is, and who He wants us to be? No. However, Jesus did not ask us to follow men and religion. He asked us to follow Him.

Jesus Christ said that He was the only way. Jesus is unique. He was either telling the truth. He was crazy, or He was a liar. But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a “good man”, how then could He be both good and crazy, or good and a liar? There is only one logically consistent alternative. He must have been telling the truth. Jesus is who He said He was – He is the only way to God!
