One Man

One man. That’s what our salvation rests upon. You talk about pressure. You talk about a weight on your back. The actions, commitment, faith, obedience, sacrifice ~ love ~ every single, human being who ever lived ~ where they spend eternity rests upon this one man.

There’s no one else. There’s no other person. There’s nobody. No political figure. No founder of a religion. No “god” (small “g”). Not Gandhi. (By the way, he was a sinner, too.) Not Buddha. (So was he.) Not Muhammed. (“There is none righteous, not even one.”) Not Allah. Not the 12th Imam/Mahdi. (Exodus 20:3)

One man.

I don’t need to tell you His name. You already know.

“For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) (flickr image by Jasmic)
