GRACE FOR THE MOMENT | THE ONLY PATH

1. Grace for the Moment

a) "Grace for the Moment" is a collection of thoughts that are inspirational. They are intended to encourage, to give hope, and to inspire the viewers.

b) Reading a thought can change the way you think about something.

2. Scripture Verse

i) John 14:6 New Century Version (NCV)

⁶ Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me.

3. Thoughts

a) Tolerance. A prized virtue today. The ability to be understanding of those with whom you differ is a sign of sophistication. Jesus, too, was a champion of tolerance:

i) Tolerant of the disciples when they doubted.

ii) Tolerant of the crowds when they misunderstood.

iii) Tolerant of us when we fall.

b) But there is one area where Jesus was intolerant. There was one area where He was non-indulgent and dogmatic...

c) AS far as He was concerned, when it comes to salvation, there aren't several roads... there is only one path. And that path is Jesus Himself.

d) That is why it is so hard for people to believe in Jesus. It's much easier to consider Him one of several options rather than the option. But such a philosophy is no option.
