Some Other Way

John 10:1 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

It seems to me that these words could be the motto of the world. There is always, in the eyes of the world, "some other way. "

There is "some other way" to govern a nation
• A democracy
• A republic
• A monarchy, and
• A dictatorship


• Socialism
• Capitalism


• Conservative or
• Liberal

There is "some other way" to view philosophy
• Utilitarianism
• Egalitarianism
• Elitism

There is "some other way" of politics
• Democrat
• Republican or
• Independent

Politics is the epitome of the "some other way" way of doing things. The fact is, politics is so much about compromise that a person's political views are rendered nearly irrelevant.

And then
There is "some other way" of religion and faith
• Some other way to describe the after life
• Some other way to attain that after life
• Some other way to practice our faith while we wait for the after life

But Jesus offers no other way. True Christianity is truly different and thus hated by this world because true Christianity insists in only one way, Christ's way. Even within the proclaiming Christian world a myriad of "ways" has emerged. But contrary to the popular opinion, only one way is the way to Go; Jesus. Every other way belongs to the thief and the robber. Jesus said that He alone is the door. Jesus said no man cometh unto the Father but by Him.

This world hates that. And they think that we must hate them because we preach it. Not so. Love for Jesus Christ insists that we love those for whom He died. There is no hatred in our position, only loyalty; loyalty to Christ and loyalty to His Word. True love for people demands that we tell them the truth of the Bible.

There is no other way
• No other way to be saved
• No other way to peace with God
• No other way to be forgiven of sin
• No other way into heaven
