Title: Why Jesus? Text: John 14:6
Today's text tells us that Jesus is the only way to God, and Jesus is the only Savior in the world who saves us from the curses of death and hell. No one else can be saved. There is no other way to be saved. In the Bible there is a saying: Acts 4:12 It says, “Salvation can be found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” There is no one who can save us except Jesus. Why?
1. Why Jesus? Because Jesus is the only sinless person.
Hebrews 4:15 A person who can save us from sin and death must be without sin. A sinful person is not worthy to save us from our sins. Then it must be the one without sin who can save us from our sins. A sinful person cannot criticize us as sinners, nor save us from our sins. But there is not a single person without sin in this world. We are all sinners. However, in order for this sin to be forgiven, an innocent person must die and pay the price. But no one in the world is without sin. In the end, in order to forgive and save our sins, the sinless Jesus came to this earth in a human body and died on the cross to pay the price for our sins. Mark 10:45 In this way, Jesus died for us, so we were given a great blessing. Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
2. Why Jesus? Because only Jesus has overcome death.
Jesus showed Himself to over 550 people in 11 different places in the six weeks after His Resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:6 The only person in the world who has overcome death is Jesus. Because that Jesus is with us to overcome death, we must believe in Jesus and we need Him. John 3:16
3. Why Jesus? Because only Jesus can give us true satisfaction.
