“Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
  The Lord Jesus Christ said it. “But,” you say, “how can a person be a way to Heaven?” Let’s illustrate. You are trapped in your room on the fifth floor of a burning hotel. Billows of suffocating black smoke pouring through the hall cut off every means of escape. Terror grips you. Horrible death stares you in the face—thoughts of loved ones, home, and eternity race through your mind. You scream for help. You slam the door shut. But the smoke creeps through the cracks into your room, grimly reminding you of sheets of flame licking hungrily at the building—sirens shriek.
  People are yelling and choking and dying in wild fright. The blood seems to freeze in your veins. Paralyzed with fear and in dreadful despair, you are about to give up all hope when suddenly a fireman, who has climbed a ladder to your room, sticks his head through the window and shouts, “I’ve come to save you!” You look down to the street below, then draw back in fear.
  “You mean you are going to take me down that ladder?” “Yes.” “Surely, there must be some other way. What about the stairs?” “No.” “The elevator?”
  “No.” “Well, the fire escape—.”
  “Now listen, this is no time to argue. There is no other way. I AM THE WAY! Trust me. I’ll soon have you down in safety.” The fireman is your way out. He is your only hope. You must let him save you, or perish in flames. So you decide to do as he says. You yield yourself to him. You trust him. Down the ladder, you go. He knows how to do this job. He is an expert. Before you know it, you are down on the sidewalk. SAVED! Joy and peace overwhelm you. The fireman has become your salvation, your peace, your joy, your way out of death into life.

The WAY is a PERSON
  You say, “I know I am a lost, guilty sinner, for the Bible says, ‘ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3:23). How can I be saved from the wrath to come and be sure of a home in Heaven?” My friend, there is no hope for you in religion or morality. Salvation is in the MAN at God’s right hand, Who said, “The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10).
  Ponder: “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (I Timothy 1:15). The Son of God gave His life at Calvary to bear your sins, and rose again from the dead, that He might become your Lord and Saviour. Salvation is in HIM. Forgiveness of sins, peace, joy, and satisfaction is found only in Him. “He is our peace” (Ephesians 2:14). “IN WHOM we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins ...” (Ephesians 1:7). “He that hath the SON hath life...” (I John 5:12).
  You are as helpless to save yourself from eternal doom as you were to save yourself from that fiery death in the hotel. There was just one way out of death—a person. There is only one way to escape from the lake of fire—a person, the Lord Jesus Christ. “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this MAN is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by HIM all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses,” (Acts 13:38,39). “To HIM give all the prophets witness, that through HIS Name whosoever believeth in HIM shall receive remission of sins” (Acts 10:43). “For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5).
  The fireman might fail. He is only human. The Lord Jesus Christ cannot fail, for He is God! Your part is to receive HIM by faith. “As many as received HIM, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12).
  Be SURE you have HIM. It is not enough to know ABOUT Him: you must make a decision for Him. Tell Him you receive Him now. You’ll be glad you did! Please do it now. There is danger in delay.
