Yeshua confirmed to His first followers that He was the Messiah by showing them how He fulfilled the ancient Hebrew biblical texts. He took them on a journey through the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms so He could illustrate how they accurately referred to Him.
“Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24: 27, NASB 1995).

If we are going to be grounded in our belief that Jesus is truly the Messiah and the only way to the Father, we must not only have a grasp of the New Testament, but also the Old Testament. If we do not fully realize how Yeshua completed the writings of the Old Testament (the Tanakh), we may, like some people, ignore the overwhelming historical proof of who Jesus is, falsely presuming that Christianity is just a good religion. We may thus fall into the trap of saying, “As long as someone’s a good person, I’m not going to interfere with what they believe or what they think. Let’s leave well enough alone. All roads lead to the same place.”
“But the Lord said to Moses, ‘I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him'” (Deut. 18:18-19).

Peter declared in Acts 3:22 that Yeshua is the one about whom Moses prophesied. This is why Yeshua could state with confidence, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).
Do you know that there are, right now, some people in the Christian church who still struggle with and even doubt the truth that says Jesus is the only way to the Father? Beloved, He is the only one. Either He is the only one for everyone, or He cannot provide salvation for anyone. We must, especially today, solidify our doctrine and understanding, and without reservation, declare that there is only one God, and He has only made one path to Himself—Jesus.
