Is Jesus the way?
In John’s gospel we read,
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36
Jesus speaking of himself said,
“Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.
These are pretty definite statements about Jesus. C. S. Lewis wrote,
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say.
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
Thus the choice is up to you dear reader. Is Jesus the Son of God, The Saviour of the world or is he something else.
Please think about it.
