Let Jesus Rescue You!

God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is,
There is only one God,
and Christ Jesus
is the only one
who can bring us
to God.
Jesus was truly human,
and he gave himself
to rescue all of us.
I Timothy 2:4-5

Here are two sentences which claim to express the "whole truth!" In my experience I think that these verses have been seriously overlooked. They express the uniqueness of God, the work and sacrifice of Jesus and the purpose of God in relating to man.

"Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God."

Many years ago my wife and I got in a taxi-cab in Singapore for what I thought was to be a short ride. Frankly, I now don't even remember where we were intending to go, but I do remember that we were taken on a scenic tour of Singapore. We did know then where we wanted to go, but we didn't know how to get there. So we became an easy target and victim of a taxi cab driver who saw a simple way to get some extra money.

Most people know where they want to go after this life is over but they don’t know how to get there. Everyone wants to go to a place that is safe, secure, peaceful, and one that will provide everything they will need forever including happiness and joy. An accurate description of Hell would not entice many if any to line up for the trip. If you say you want to go to Hell you are really saying that you don't believe that it exists. It would be like saying, "Today I want to fall down and break my arm!"
 
So, how do you finish this life in a victorious triumph? It is not by making your mark in the world. Even if you invent the most amazing and universally utilized gadget and touch the life of everyone on earth, your life will mean nothing unless Jesus has touched your life. On the other hand, if you by the estimation of all other men are just a simple man or woman with no worldly honors, but you know Jesus, then your life is the ultimate success story!
 
If you want to be wise, stop running after all the other stuff in the world and grab on to Jesus. All others are like the Singapore cab driver who will take you on the ride of your life, but will get you nowhere in the end. Jesus came to rescue you. Let Him do it!
