I just “finished” a study on Revelation. HIGHLY suggest reading “You can understand the book of Revelation” by Skip Heitzig. SO good. Jesus is coming back soon and it’s EXCITING. But like also, Jesus is coming back and WE NEED TO BE READY.

His Life Foretold | Matthew 12:18-21 | Skip Heitzig

If your hope is in politics, policies, people, or possessions, you will be constantly disappointed. The hope that God gave the world, foretold by the prophets, was (and still is) a single, unique person—Jesus Christ. Of all the predictions made about what He would be and do, Matthew highlighted a few. Jesus wouldn’t fit all the misplaced expectations that people had of Him, but He would fulfill the commission His Father gave Him. Let’s look at four tasks Jesus would perform at His first coming as foretold by the prophet.

The Truth about Hell [Matthew 25:41] | Skip Heitzig

Hell is an eternal and biblical reality, but it’s one that has become relegated to the junk pile of modern myths. Actor Woody Allen once said that hell is the abode of all people who annoy him. People speak of hell in daily conversations usually as an expletive without any thought of the somberness of the place. Certainly, of all the Christian doctrines unfolded in Scripture, hell is the toughest one to handle. Let’s get the scriptural scoop.

ARE YOU NARROW MINDED?

 Jesus said to Thomas at the last supper, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the father except through me."    How powerful is that?  How potent and unmistakably clear is that?  I am the way.  I am the truth.  I am the light.

I wonder how many people truly believe this.  I wonder how many people who claim to follow Christ truly believe this.  This sounds very narrow, very exclusive, very dogmatic.  Notice Jesus doesn't say, "I am a way."  He doesn't say, "I'll show you the way."  He doesn't say, "I can teach you the path."  He says, "I'm it.  I am the road, the way.  I am the truth.  I am the life."  Just so you don't misunderstand, again, the wuest(ph) translation from the Greek into English expanded puts it this way, "I alone in contra-distinction to all others and the road and the truth and the life."  No one, no man, no woman, no child, no sincere person know, religious person know, well meaning person, no boy, no girl goes to the father except through Christ.

Well, that's your interpretation.  I just read that.  How else do you read it so you won't be misunderstanding it, listen to a couple of other things and see if it's right or not.  Jesus, again, speaking on The Sermon on Mount, Mathew 7, "Enter in by the narrow gate for for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many go in there by.  But narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life and few  who find it."

You know who's there listening that day?  Peter.  You know who's in the upper room that night listening?  Peter.  And Peter would be confused as he saw Jesus die.  He denied Jesus.  But then Christ would be risen from the dead, it all would be lined up in his mind and Peter would say these words a few weeks later, Acts Chapter 4, "Nor is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Add those three verses up alone, there are many more, just add those up alone.  It pretty much eliminates any other way to heaven, whether it's by works or by ceremony or by religion.  That's so dogmatic.  You're right.  You're right.  And I noticed that Jesus makes no apology for its dogmatism nor will I.

Something about the truth, have you noticed the truth by its very nature is dogmatic?  I had a math teacher who was so dogmatic when I was a kid.  She would always insist that two plus two always had to be 4, always.  Why couldn't it be five and a half every now and then?

Well, if you want to get an F on the test, it could be.  But she was so narrow-minded about the truth of math.  I've also noticed my bank is dogmatic about such matters.  The mortgagee company is very dogmatic about such matters.  Truth is truth.  Heaven is a real place.  Heaven is a loving place.  Heaven is a relational place, but heaven is an exclusive place.

Do you know the one who prepared it for his own?  If you know him and you know where you're going, then that helps you manage life in the mess.  If you don't know him, if you refuse to know him, then I can only say it's going to get a lot messier for you.

Heavenly Father, you send Jesus so that would never have to happen.  He did the heavy lifting for us.  He went to the cross.  He paid for sin.  He took the punishment.  He did the heavy lifting so that we could receive everlasting life

Satan is afraid of those who know what the Bible says, he is afraid of those who do what the Bible says.
