Jesus, Our Savior
The purpose of Jesus coming into our world is simple, reconciliation. During this season, we have no problem singing sons about Jesus and even claiming He's our Savior, He's our peace. But we usually don't go beyond humming the tune to ask what it is that we're actually singing. Do we know what we're singing when we sing that Christ is our Savior? Savior from what? Or that He is our peace? Peace from what conflict?

Do All Roads Lead to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14 says"...broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." One of the most common misconceptions about the world religions is that at the core of their beliefs, they are all the same. The analogy of a mountain with many roads that lead to the top, or the picture of an elephant surrounded by blind men trying to describe what they are touching, is used to explain that religion is really "ONE" but that the roads or paths to getting there are simply different. On a simplistic level, one might affirm the common spiritual desire that points people toward a spiritual reality. The pursuit of the transcendent is common in all cultures – anthropologists call it the "god-consciousness". But upon closer evaluation, one quickly sees that each religion has exclusive claims that set it apart from the other. In the midst of our pluralistic culture, one must ask: so which road does indeed lead to life? Key Passage: 1 Kings 18:16-39
