If Not Jesus Then Who?

John  6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.  65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
  Make no mistake friend, there is ONLY ONE WAY. As we look at the world around us, deceit is rampant, unborn are sacrificed at a faster rate than the god named Molech's worshipers  could ever had wickedly dreamt of, human trafficking is rampant and the sanctity of marriages is faring no better than respect for human life is. So why Jesus? If not Jesus then who?
  Imagine a world without these horrific tragedies occurring. What if families stayed together? What if children weren't molested? What if there was no murders, and rape? What if husbands didn't abandon their wives? Or spouses didn't committ adultery? What if there was no addiction? See Beloved, this was what man was originally created to experience. Things weren't to be as they are. But, Adam fell. So why Jesus?
  What Adam failed to do, Jesus succeeded to do under even more impossible circumstances. Jesus was tempted in every way we are, yet He knew the way to beat sin. He stayed in constant prayer, He stayed in the Word, and He sought not His own will, but God's will. Beloved if we every (ALL) one sought God's will in all things, relationships, and desires we would experience a greater success in the circumstances of this life. But there is the gift of free will God gave us. For apart from choice there is no love. Oh there's infatuated fuzzy warm emotions, but that isn't love. That is flesh and flesh profits nothing. That is why Jesus came in the flesh, for the justice of God must be accounted for. So the choice was made, the choice of love that God chose to offer redemption for ALL we have done and will do.
  God had to choose to bear our sin on Himself. So man had a choice and has a choice to make. Our choice is simple and only brings life and life more abundant if we choose the choice of Jesus. He never forces Himself on no one, no more than He forced Adam not to eat off the tree. He chose poorly and all the evil I mentioned above here. That's why Jesus. If not Jesus, then who? You? Me? Another wife? Another drink? There is only One Who has the Words of life. If not Jesus then who?
