‘No one…’: When Jesus Says It, He Means It

Description

Life is uncertain! But in an ever-changing, tumultuous world there are still some things that have the mark of authenticity. J. D. Wetterling focuses on six of them from the mouth of Jesus that profoundly affect anyone regardless of race or religion (or lack of it!). What are these unshakable truths? They are found in John’s Gospel – and turn out to be profound revelations from the Son of God’s own lips. NO ONE can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again (John 3:3) NO ONE can come to me unless the Father Who sent me draws him (John 6:44). NO ONE comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). NO ONE takes it (life) from me, but I lay it down of my own accord (John 10:18). NO ONE can snatch them [true Christians] out of my hand (John.10:28). NO ONE will take away your joy (John 16:22b). The cultural epidemic of today’s post-modern thought provokes a common disregard for the idea of absolute truth – people say that your truth is fine for you but mine is fine for me also – but no truth covers us both. Yet, the biblical statements examined here by Wetterling show that truth can be absolute, and forever.
