Episode 75: But Why Jesus

In this episode, Heather and Jackie discuss the concept of why Jesus is the only way to God the Father. How do we know that Jesus was the promised Messiah? They talk about the simplicity of Jesus and how He is the door-the narrow path that leads to God. They also touch on the importance of faith and belief in Jesus, as well as the role of repentance in receiving the free gift of salvation. They emphasize that it is not our works that save us, but rather our faith in Jesus. They also mention the proof of Jesus as the promised Messiah, including the prophecies in the Old Testament and the fulfillment of those prophecies in Jesus. They highlight specific prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus, such as being born in Bethlehem, being preceded by John the Baptist, entering Jerusalem riding a donkey, being betrayed by a friend, and dying by crucifixion. They emphasize that these prophecies, along with the eyewitness accounts and the testimony of the Holy Spirit, provide strong evidence that Jesus is the Son of God and the answer to our salvation. They also emphasize that salvation is only through Jesus and not by our own works or any other religion. We can’t wait for you to tune into our conversation!
