The Only Way

Hebrews 1:3

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand
of the Majesty on high;

In an age of tolerance and compromise, the idea that there is only one way to do something is roundly rejected. “One way” is considered narrow- minded, intolerant, inconsiderate, and even disrespectful. So, it’s not surprising that the New Testament’s message of forgiveness through Jesus alone is not received by many.

The writer of the letter to the Hebrews was not hesitant to make a “narrow” point about Jesus. He spent the first ten chapters of his epistle pointing out that Jesus did what no one else in Israel’s history had been able to do: provide salvation from sin, once and for all. The writer points out that Jesus was superior to the angels, to Moses, to the thousands of Aaronic priests, and to the sacrifices of those priests. “By Himself [Jesus] purged our sins [and] sat down at the right hand” of God— something no one else could have done. Peter confirmed that narrow point of view by saying there is salvation in no one else besides Jesus (Acts 4:12).

Are you willing to embrace the Bible’s presentation of Jesus as the only Savior of mankind? It may not be popular, but it is true.

Acts 4:12

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.

Free justification by grace alone through faith
alone in Christ alone. ~ Sinclair Ferguson
