00:00All right, let's get straight to the point. Jesus made radical claims. He said in John 14
00:12that he is the Son of God, that he existed before Abraham, that he and God are one,
00:19and that no one comes to the Father except through him. He performed miracles that amazed many,
00:25yet his claims left no room for neutrality. This is the trilemma. If Jesus wasn't who he claimed to
00:33be, then he was either a liar or a lunatic. But how could a liar perform the miracles that
00:39defined his ministry? Why would a deceiver willingly suffer, be tortured, and die the
00:45most painful execution, rather than recant? And how could a lunatic offer the most profound
00:51ethical teachings in history, words that have shaped entire civilizations and continue to
00:57change lives today? Jesus was known for his wisdom, love, and power, not deceit or madness.
01:05He healed the sick, calmed storms, fed thousands, and even raised the dead.
01:10His followers, many of whom saw these miracles, were willing to die rather than deny him.
01:16Would they die for a lie? Even his enemies acknowledged his wisdom, yet he was hated,
01:23persecuted, and crucified for his claims because they went against their religious system at the
01:28time. So if Jesus wasn't a liar and he wasn't a lunatic, the only conclusion left is that he truly
01:35was who he claimed to be, the Son of God, the only way to the Father. This leads us to the core of his
01:43message. In John 14 verse 6, he declared, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
01:51Father except through me. If that's true, it contradicts the idea that all religions lead to God.
01:58And it contradicts what most religions claim about Jesus. So, what did Jesus actually teach about how we
02:05can be made right with God? What does it mean to follow him? And how do we receive eternal life
02:12according to his words? Let's find out.
