James Taylor

In his classic song “Fire and Rain”, James Taylor sings: “Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus. You gotta help me make a stand. You’ve just got to see me through another day. My body’s achin’ and my time is at hand. And I won’t make it any other way.”

I don’t know anything about Taylor’s religious beliefs, but he said something profoundly true. Jesus himself says, “…I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6).

That message is dismissed by many because of its exclusive nature, but that’s just the way Jesus says it is! We won’t make it any other way!
