God knows we need a way to get from this world to heaven and that we can’t do it on our own. So He built a bridge: Jesus. When Jesus came to this world, He bridged the gap between us and God. By dying on the cross, He made it possible for us to get to heaven.
But Jesus isn’t simply our bridge to heaven or one of many bridges. He is the only bridge. You can’t go to heaven on any other religion bridge or I’m a good person bridge. Jesus is the only way. No one gets to see the Father unless he or she goes through Jesus.
Jesus didn’t come to start a religion. He came to have a relationship with you. He has a purpose and a destiny for your life. Religions tend to condemn people if they don’t obey their “rules.” Jesus is about love and mercy. Not rules and judgment.
