The Hope of the World

Luke 19:1-10

1. The Exclusivity of Christianity and Christ
1. The major heresy of our time?
2. Objections:
1. All religions are equally valid
2. No one has a grasp of the whole truth! I believe in God . . . leave me alone.
1. Everyone has to verify truth claims - everyone!
2. Encounter the real Christ!
3. All religions are equally untrue - historically conditioned and relative
1. Religion leads to fights and abuse
3. Encounter the real Christ! (vss. 1-10)
1. Proudly secular fellow - Zaccheus
1. Just wants to catch a glimpse of Jesus
2. He is led to Repentance and Faith
1. Most hold Jesus at arms length (including Christians)
4. Christianity is the Hope for the World (robust Christianity)
1. Promotes authentic humility
2. Demonstrates God’s life-changing power
