The church faces an enormous challenge today - pluralism.
Pluralism is the tolerance of diversity of cultures, ethnicity and faiths. However, pluralism also means the intolerance of absolute truths.
In such a society, the church stands at odds with the world.
We are at bicker heads with the world because of the claims of Jesus Christ. Jesus claims to be the unique and final answer to salvation from sin and way to God.
Does the church have a monopoly to truth?” the whole world decries.
Humbly and confidently, “YES” is our reply.
"Does it mean that all other religions do not lead to God?”
Faithfully and undoubtedly, “YES” is the church’s response.
If Jesus is correct, then the world is wrong.
If the church is right on Christ, then the church is also right on the world. It is only but a logical conclusion.
To compromise on this stand is to give in to falsehood.
In a pluralistic society, the challenge of the church is uncompromising faithfulness in defending and proclaiming the uniqueness and finality of Christ.
