Defining Jesus: I Am The Way The Truth And The Life

There are movies about heaven, songs about heaven, and old cartoons depicting people and animals losing their life and floating up to heaven. Even if one did not believe in heaven, a rough survey of one neighborhood or city block would reveal that everyone has thought about it. Even my atheist friends have started their debates with, “Well, if there is a God and He is love, why doesn’t He let everyone go to heaven? And there, in a simple, heartfelt question and even the animated musings of cartoons and Disney films, lies the problem. The idea of Heaven, or rather Heaven, being universally accepted as the logical destination for life after death, has created a widely accepted belief that access to Heaven is as dynamic as the multiverse. What is meant is there is a narrative in the culture and the church that there are many ways to Heaven. Even among people who say they practise the way of Jesus, over fifty percent surveyed say there is more than one way to heaven, according to pew research. Some even believe in multiple heavens. STAGGERING!
