Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
    who have ears but are deaf.
9 All the nations gather together
    and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold this
    and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
    so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
    and apart from me there is no saviour.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
13     Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
    When I act, who can reverse it?”


The very idea that there is only one God, and that He is the one and only Saviour is offensive to many in this pluralist society. We have constructed a modern ‘Pantheon’ where we want to place all religions on an equal footing. But when the only God came into the world in Jesus He said, ”I am the way and the truth and the life…” (John 14:6). Jesus didn’t claim to be a way: one among many. He declared that He is the only way to the only God there is. Somebody said that Christianity is an exclusive faith, and therefore it is an inclusive faith. If Jesus is the only way to the only God there is, then all people must get to hear about Him, regardless of their creed, colour or culture.

Certainly, there have been, and there still are, many false gods (idols) in the world. But there is only one true God and Saviour. Fulfilled prophecy is a significant pointer to His reality (9).
