The Only One That Can

Some things only certain people can do; they are the only ones with the knowledge required. We go to a doctor to get help with medical problems because we do not have the expertise ourselves to cope with those issues. Most people we know are limited in how much they can help with health concerns. We need a specialist to diagnose and treat our life-threating concerns.

Some things only certain people can do; they are the only ones with the abilities required. If the team needs a point guard, they need to find one with the native talents and developed skills to cover that role in the game. The team needs an athlete on the roster who can handle the ball—dribbling, passing, setting up plays, shooting.

Some things only certain people can do; they are the only ones with the right to do it. The typical “person on the street” cannot fine or incarcerate a person that has wronged someone in an actionable way.

When it comes to broken relationship with God because of moral imperfection, only one Person has the character, ability, and right to save us. The bread and cup signify the body and blood of Jesus, who volunteered his life so we could have life. He alone is the One the Father acknowledges as the basis for our reconciliation to himself.

In this simple act we recognize the only name under heaven given among men that we can be saved by (Acts 4:12).
