Life Quote by David Platt
![“Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to [God] the Father except through me.” Peter, one of the four fishermen Jesus called, later said of Jesus, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Jesus…” quote by David Platt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ac3/david-platt-1251_life_jesus-said-i-am-the-way-and-the-truth-an_2237154.jpg)
““Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to [God] the Father except through me.” Peter, one of the four fishermen Jesus called, later said of Jesus, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Jesus did not claim to be one dish on the buffet line of spirituality from which we can pick and choose the elements that best suit our taste. And if his claims are true, then his call demands everything, and we have no other choice—like those fishermen before us—but to drop everything and follow him.””
