Acts 4:11-13 AMPC
This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]. [12] And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved. [13] Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Football transfer season is upon us.
Each supporter is scanning the news daily to see who their team will bring in to give them a boost in their challenge for trophies or to avoid relegation.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, a Ukrainian superstar winger, is on the radar for Arsenal.
Among his tattoos, he has a large "only Jesus" inscribed boldly on the side of his neck. It is unmissable and, even the media have run a story on it.
Mykhaylo is a committed Christian and proudly proclaims the same message that Peter preached in the passage above.
There are many religions that say their way is "a way" to search for God, but Jesus states that He is the "ONLY Way" to the Father.
All other ways are false and will divert to destruction:
John 10:8-9 AMPC
All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them. [9] I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
Let's pray that, should Mykhaylo ply his trade in the Premier League (hopefully with Arsenal), the many who see it, will search out the meaning of "only Jesus" and be saved.
May we and he truly be a signpost for Jesus.
