Jesus, Our Only Option—Part 10

Talk to most investment firms and they will tell you it is best to diversify. We are often warned about the danger of putting “all our eggs in one basket.” That may be good advice for investing, but when it comes to the subject of your life, the Bible tells us something very different.

God does not tell us to diversify our faith, and He does tell us to “put all our eggs in one basket.” God has only one Begotten Son, and He has provided only one way for us to be saved and come into a personal relationship with Him.

The only way we can ever receive any spiritual blessing from God is through Jesus Christ. There are no diversified plans in heaven. Read the Scriptures and you will not come up with a list of multiple choice options for you to pick from regarding where to place your faith.

The idea behind “not putting all your eggs in one basket” is a good one if the basket falls and all the eggs are smashed. Having Jesus as your only option would be a bad decision if Jesus stumbled and fell—it would mean that if He fails, you fail; if He loses, you are lost; if He cannot bless you, you are empty; if He is not triumphant, you are defeated; if He is not in control, you are in great danger.

When Jesus is your only option you don’t need to say “I’m His sink or swim,” because He will not sink; “I’m His win or lose,” because He will not lose. Everything that is written about Jesus in the Scriptures is true, the decision to have Him as your only option is the wisest, surest, greatest, highest, and absolutely the best decision you could possibly make.
