Jesus, Our
Only Option Part 1
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
When you
desire cold cereal for breakfast you can go to the grocery store and walk down
an aisle that is
stocked, from top to bottom, with every kind of cereal your taste buds could
crave. If you want to buy
a new house you can spend weeks or even months house hunting and considering
all the choices
that are available to you.
Even though
we like variety and are thankful for all the options that present themselves to
us in life, there
are times when the options before us bring frustration and confusion. We want
to get the best
value and make the best choice. Often, we seek out reviews and the opinions of
others before we
make our decisions.
Clearly some
choices are much more important than others. It is one thing to decide which
box of cereal to
eat; it is quite another thing to decide which college to attend, which career
to pursue, or which
person to marry. Thankfully,
when it comes to the most important decision in life, God has made it very
simple for us. He
does not present to us a “supermarket” of spiritual paths that we may choose in
order to know and
follow Him. He does not say to us, “Go down this aisle and look over all the spiritual
options I have given you and then pick the one that suits you best.”
Our decision
to know and follow God is so important that He has presented us with only one option.
Every road sign God has made points to one person; every message God has spoken proclaims
one name; every view God shows us of Himself reveals one face.
In this moment,
for you, Jesus Christ is God’s only option.
Jesus said
to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except
by (through)
Me (John 14:6 AMP).
