John 14:1-6

Nor is there salvation
in any other, for there
is no other name under
heaven given among
men by which we must
be saved. __Acts 4:12

We kept getting tickets to nowhere.

We had finished a missions trip to Jamaica and were trying to get home. However, our airline was having problems, and no matter what our tickets said, we couldn't leave Montego Bay. Over and over we heard, "Your flight has been canceled." Even though we had purchased our tickets in good faith, the airline could not back up its promise to transport us to the US. We had to stay an extra day before boarding a plane that could take us home.

Imagine thinking that you are headed for heaven, but discovering that your ticket is no good. It can happen. If you trust the wrong plane, you will get to the gate of eternity but be denied entrance into heaven to live with God forever.

The apostle Peter said there is salvation in no one else but Jesus (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). The only ticket to heaven goes to those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross as payment for their sin.

Some offer other ways. But those tickets are worthless. To make sure you're going to heaven, trust Jesus. He's the only way. __Dave Branon

**************Today's Bible Reading __ John 14:1-6***************

1 Let not your heart be
troubled; you believe in
God, believe also in Me.

2 In My Father's house are
many mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place
for you. 3 And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I
will come again and receive
you to Myself; that where I
am, there you may be also.

4 And where I go you know,
and the way you know.

5 Thomas said to Him,
"Lord, we do not know
where You are going, and
how can we know the
way?

6 Jesus said to him, "I am
the way, the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the
Father except through me."

There are seven "I am" sayings in the gospel of John: "I am the
bread of life" (6:48), "I am the light of the world" (8:12), I am
the door" (10:9), "I am the good shepherd" (10:11), "I am the
resurrection and the life" (11:25), "I am the way, the truth, and
the life" (14:6), and "I am the true vine" (15:1). Jesus is the Way,
because He is the truth and life. In fact, Christianity was initially
called "the Way" (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14-22). __SIM KAY TEE
