More of a question then a post, this is what started me thinking about salvation outside of Jesus.<\/p>\n
Think back to the time when Jesus walked the earth. He never traveled a significant distance from where he was born and grew up. Once he started his earthly ministry he touched the lives of hundreds of people, but certainly not the whole world. Once he resurrected and ascended his apostles started to preach the good news, but they certainly didn’t make it out to the whole world.<\/p>\n
This means that while Jesus was alive there were people who never met him and never talked to him. When his apostles started preaching there were hundreds of thousands of people who never heard them preach, never had a chance to encounter Jesus as way, truth and life. Through no fault of their own countless millions died before Jesus was born, many more died while he was alive, and many more died in the time after his death. Currently we have the gospel being preached in many corners of the world, but we haven’t reached every single living human being, so there are still some people who have never heard of the holy man from Nazareth.<\/p>\n
What about them?<\/p>\n
Is heaven \/ salvation \/ life in the world to come \/ entry into the great feast \/etc. closed to them forever?<\/p>\n
I’d like to hear how this dilemma has been resolved in the lives of individuals who read my blog – this is the crux of where my exploration of salvation began, and it is still the crucible where my thoughts are being refined.<\/p>\n
Blessings & Peace,
