One Connection Point

The number of people seeking spiritualism has risen in America, where Christianity is on a downward trend. People are seeking enlightenment, but finding darkness. The idea that there are many ways to enlightenment or eternal life is a lie. People think the way to heaven is a 9 lane paved highway. There’s the Muslim lane, the Hindu lane, the Christian lane, the Buddhism lane, etc. All these ways lead to heaven or enlightenment, right? That’s a lie right out of the mouth of Satan himself. John 14:6 says, “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

There is only one connection point to God the Father and that is through Jesus Christ. The people who are seeking spiritualism only find a lie that Satan has been telling since the beginning of time. The lie he tells is that we can achieve enlightenment in ourselves and not in God. We can make ourselves happy and fulfilled. The truth is that we enter this life empty. The fall of Adam and Eve caused mankind to be born dead in sin. We are born with a hole in our heart that only God Himself can fill in the person Jesus Christ.

Jesus has called Christ-followers to let people know that the 9 lane paved highway leads only to death and destruction (Matthew 7:12-14, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”). As Christ-followers, we are to tell people what the truth really is, and the truth is that Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father and to true enlightenment.

Jesus Christ is the only connection point that mankind has to reaching the forgiveness of God the Father. As Christ-followers, we are to connect people to Jesus Christ. God has placed us where He wants us for His purposes. One of these purposes is to connect people to Jesus. We aren’t the connection point. We serve only to point people to the true connection point to God which is Jesus Christ. We are called to go and tell what we know, and God draws people to Himself. The only true way to God the Father is through what Jesus did on the cross.

It’s time that we as Christ-followers get over ourselves and get out of our comfort zones and do some “going.” We have the truth, and this truth we have has set us free from bondage. Go and show your neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers the only true way to enlightenment and eternal life is through the man Christ Jesus.

Thanks for reading. Until next time, grow where God has placed you.
