Jesus is the Substance, ALL Others are Shadows
In John 14:6 Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me”. Yesterday, a beloved Indian friend asked me why I believed that statement by Jesus giving that there are many religions that offer a way to God. I share my response to him with you. I got up and the light from the sun fell in me and multiple shadows appeared around me. I asked him if the fact that there were multiple shadows of me meant that there were multiple versions of me. He responded thus “no”. There is only one me, and one you. But when you come out under the light, there are multiple shadows of yourself. Religions of the world are that way. There are multiple religions in this world, just as there are multiple shadows. But there is only One Way to God. He is original known as Yesh’ua though modern day Christians call Him Jesus and Muslims call Him Prophet Isa while some in the Orient call Him Krishna. Even . Let it offend whoever it will offend, but only Jesus can make the boast that EVERY religion on earth acknowledges Him. That ought to tell you something. Jesus is the Substance, ALL Others are Shadows.
