A Lament for the City
It may seem irreverent to compare Jesus to a chicken. But Jesus does in fact describe himself this way. He says he is like a mother hen longing to gather her chicks under her wings. Jesus has so much compassion on his people that he will be stopped by nothing in his mission save his people. Nothing will stop him from advancing the Kingdom of God.

We’ve all heard people say it: “The problem with Christians is that they think Jesus is the only way to heaven.” Even reason says: We go to the college of our choice, watch the cable channel of our choice, and eat the food of our choice. So why can’t we pray to the god of our choice and get to heaven by any means we choose? These are fair questions. Questions that demand an answer if Christians are going to insist that their claims are true—and that all other religions’ claims about salvation are thereby false. They are questions Philip Ryken confronts head-on. The four essential Christian beliefs that pluralists find most troublesome are explained in clear, everyday terms. Ryken argues not only that Jesus is the only way, but also why this must be true.
