Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“We finally got our new doors!” That’s what the texted message said. It came along with this picture. I was out of town at the time, so I was sent the important news, for which our church  has been waiting months! The news also included some very personal information for me alone. Since I am the preacher, and since I am at the Church more than anyone else, I needed a key to get in!

Keys are important because they are necessary to enter or utilize something that normally would be locked or prohibited from use by the general population. When Katie got her new car we received 2 sets of special electronic keys. I say special because, even though I don’t have to insert it into a keyhole, ‘The Key’ MUST be present for the smart electronics to work and allow passage.

Recently I went to the gym and saw a man with a shirt that had Hemingway’s comment, “There is no hunting like the hunting of man.” Assuming he was military I just couldn’t resist the door to see if it might open! “So… you’ve hunted men? That’s incredible because I’M a man-hunter too!” He looked at me like I was crazy and I said, “I hunt and fish for men for Jesus! Do you know Him?”

The biggest and baddest door that EVERY person on earth faces is the door of death. Since death has a 100% success rate and EVERYBODY dies, you’d think that people would be clamoring to find the key to beating it. But being in the Jesus business, I have found that these days, most folks don’t even consider the options. Even though man’s Creator made the ‘The Key’ free to ALL!

‘I AM’ is God’s name. Jesus said it, and then added that if ANYONE wants ‘The Way’ to beat death, all they have to do is come to HIM! And Truth? He made it clear that ‘Truth’ ain’t a THING… but HIM! And Life is what is freely offered as a benefit HERE as well as THERE in Heaven. The KEY to all life is simply and easily offered and acquired… by Jesus Christ!

Do YOU know Him? Are YOU spreading ‘The Good News’ about the Key!
