Some people I know have started a discussion centered around what they call "the problems about Jesus".
The problem of Jesus is defined as this- Jesus declared Himself as the way, the truth, and the life, and some people have trouble accepting that this is the only way to "salvation."
I'm sure that once I give the theology and logic behind this problem a bit more thought, I will have more intelligent things to say.
But for now- this is what I have.
The things that create problems and cause us to stop and struggle, usually these are the things worth struggling with and figuring out.
That the important thing about the problem of Jesus is that it gets us thinking, reflecting, and searching out the truth.
That even if its a problem for you to claim Jesus as the only way, at least you are admitting that there is a way to find.
Its important to not get so wrapped up in finding the answers as in gaining the experience and wisdom that comes with living your way into the answers.
Long story short: enjoy the problems. They create the interesting tension in life.
