Have you driven past the intersection of M-57 and M-91 in Greenville on a Saturday morning this summer? Did you hear the hymns and the preaching and read the signs? How did you feel? Did you wave and bless them or look the other way? If it made you uncomfortable, have you asked yourself why that may be? You may not agree with their methods but according to our text for Sunday, they do have a mandate. They are proclaiming that there is one way to be right with God and His Name is Jesus Christ. King Jesus gave them the authority to proclaim that message. A lot of people in our culture are asking questions that are tempting to ask. Should Gideons be handing out Bibles to people? Should we be giving away free bottles of water with the message that Jesus is the only way to quench spiritual thirst? Should Lincoln Lake Baptist Camp be telling impressionable children that there is only one Teacher to follow and that rejecting Him will result in hell? Should we be sending missionaries to foreign lands with a message of Christianity? Why don’t we just let them have their own religion and leave them alone? Is our goal to get people to say a prayer like the one we said so we can feel validated? Is Christianity too militant? In a pluralistic culture shouldn’t we be a bit more affirming about “other ways to God?” Can we really say that Islam is wrong? Can we say that Judaism has stopped short of God’s intention? Are the Hindu people really wrong? They have millions of gods. Is one of those gods the right one or are all of them right? As we conclude our Matthew series this Sunday we’ll see how important the last three verses are for questions like the ones above. The King has spoken and authorized a message and means for long-term “followership.” Jesus is either right or He’s not. The gospel is either true or not. We are either followers…or not.
