Universal
Colossians 1:1-8
During her first pregnancy, my wife was very sick. She felt terribly nauseated through the first several months and nothing seemed to help. During this time, a number of people came up to me with complete confidence that they had the solution. They would say, “All she has to do is take this, and she won’t be sick anymore.” As confident as they were of their solutions, none of them worked. They had made a false assumption. They assumed that it would work for my wife, since it had worked for them. Apparently, during pregnancy, there is no universal cure-all for nausea.
There are many people who see Christianity the same way that I saw those people who claimed to know the cure for my wife’s nausea. It can sound arrogant when Christians claim that Jesus is the one cure for all mankind’s sicknesses. After all, how could it be possible for one person, or one religion, to address the needs of a group as diverse as the human race? Is it reasonable to believe that the impact of Jesus is really universal?
