How Can Christians Say, ‘Jesus is the only way?’

One frequently asked question about our faith is, “How can Christians say ‘Jesus is the only way’?” What makes Jesus unique? What is the basis for the Christian claim that Jesus is Lord?

At first blush, such a claim sounds intolerant and unloving when so many other belief systems and worldviews exist. But the declaration that Jesus is Lord is actually very good news. First, it means that God is knowable. It is good news that we don’t have to guess what God is like. God has been fully revealed in Jesus through his life, death, and resurrection. Second, Jesus’ Lordship is not just good news for Christians. It’s good news for all of creation. Through Jesus Christ, God is restoring and redeeming the world.

A helpful article by Professor Marian Meye Thompson on this topic can be found on our denomination’s website. And, when it comes to how we talk about Jesus’ lordship with our questioning or other-believing friends, check out Question 52 in the Presbyterian Study Catechism.

Yours for Christ,
