The exclusive claim of Christianity about Christ is not centered on our belief that Jesus was right about God. It is centered on our claim that God was fully present in Christ to reconcile the world to Himself (2 Cor. 5:18). It is the theological claim about Jesus (that He is God) that makes the spiritual claims of Jesus potent. Jesusâ words are right because those words are Godâs words (Jn. 14:10b). Jesusâ âwayâ is not superior because it promotes a higher ethic or because it champions values that resonate with our spiritual sensitivities. Jesusâ way is true because in Him we find God drawing us to Himself.
