The Road.


John 5:23

23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. 

Jesus statement became more not acceptable to the ears of Jewish leaders this time. Notice, He said "all may honor the Son". Not some. Therefore each and everyone must give honor to Him. 

John in his little book in First John make it more dangerous. He used the word "deny" which has the same verb meaning with disagree, renounce, decline even refuse or reject. 

1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (KJV).

But you see, how God gives us the chance? Both Jesus and John didn't stop there. They still gives options that those who honors and acknowledges the Son does the same to the Father. There is no bypass at all. Must go through Jesus always. 

Let's back up a little of what John has said "whoever denies the Son". See, even before during Jesus time on earth. There were people or religious group had already denied Him. In this generation, you can still see out there who are these people or religious as they call it that cannot accept that Jesus is God. 

These people does not have the idea how dangerous of rejecting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The bible was so clear " those who denies Him, denies the Father also" meaning we must go through Jesus always. There is no shortcut or bypass. Jesus is the only road to the Father. (John 14:6).

A Sad Christmas!

A movie called "Escape Room" is about a group friends who were trapped in an unknown place. They find different ways to figure out to escape but were not able to and led most of them to death. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me . John 5: 27-30 - A Sad Christmas! We were also trapped by our sins and transgressions. And tried our best through good works so we can go to heaven.
