DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the eternal nature of Jesus Christ, highlighting
our human inadequacy in understanding His divine revelation. He points
out that while many religious figures had beginnings and endings, Jesus
is the eternal Son of God, the Word who was with the Father from the
very start. Tozer asserts that true understanding of Christianity begins
with recognizing Christ's unique and eternal identity. He underscores
that Jesus is the only way to the Father, setting Him apart from all
other religious leaders. This foundational truth is essential for a
genuine Christian life.

None of us can approach a consideration of the eternal nature and Person
of Jesus Christ without sensing and confessing our human inadequacy in
the face of the divine revelation. John, in his gospel, provides a
beautiful portrait of the eternal Christ, starting with those stark,
incredible words: "In the beginning!', My brethren, that is where we
start with the understanding and the revelation of Christianity! Many
others have made a variety of claims but only our Christ is the Christ
of God. Certainly it was not Buddha and not Mohammed; not Joseph Smith,
not Mrs. Eddy and not Father Divine! All of these and countless others
like them had beginnings-but they all had their endings, too. What an
incredible difference!

Our Christian life commences with the eternal Son of God.

This is our Lord Jesus Christ: the Word who was with the Father in the
beginning; the Word who was God; and the Word who is God! This is the
only one who can assure us: "No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me!"
