Why Jesus Is The Only Way To Be Saved

I LOVE going to sleep listening to podcasts! It is truly the best. 

Earlier this week, I went to sleep listening to the North Coast sermon from February 6, 2016. Sleeping through most of it often I try to catch up with the rest in the morning. The next morning, I happen to wake up extra early at 5:00 am, and caught this very brief but significant section of the sermon between my snoozes. (The 35 minute mark to end)

It took me a while to find this section  to re-listen. Today, I went back and wrote down the highlights, it is just too significant not to keep it fresh. 

I have been a Christian for a long time. I have heard the gospel many many times. I question how Jesus dying on the cross actually saves our sins. I don't fully get how that is the only way we become saved. But I know that it is true. 

Listening to Chris retell it in this sermon hits home in a way that I haven't ever thought about it before. That Jesus wouldn't have gone through that horrible awful death if there was another way. I don't need to fully understand the dynamics of how it is the only way, but see how Jesus wouldn't have died that way if there was a different way. 

That helps me a lot. It makes what Jesus did so much bigger. Wording it like that makes it a little more real what he was doing.
