THEOLOGICAL BLOG 4

Having missed a day early on in blogging, I will write more tonight, in an effort to keep up the pace.
How does one become a Christian? Are Christian correct in claiming exclusivity for the saving work of Jesus on the cross. True, he spoke these words: "In my Father's house there are many mansions," "When I am lifted up I will draw all men to myself." He also claimed to have the authority to judge, in the various 'I am' verses in John's gospel, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no-one comes the Father but by me. Strive to enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate which leads to destruction. Apart from me you can do nothing.
Such exclusive claims are anathema to the world, to sinful man, who cannot bear to have his moral autonomy challenged.
