John 14:1-7
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Jesus answers many questions for me about life...He brings a clearer sense to life...Because of Jesus, I see an explanation for why we are here...Jesus came to dwell among us so we can see that He came so that we can have life more abundantly...We can see what Truth is through His acts and His deeds...We can see there is a Way to God through Him...We can believe that He is the Only Way to Heaven and to God...We see that by believing in Him, there is a Way, a Right Way, to go about your journey through life...We can see that there is more to life than some chaotic confusion of evolution and randomness...Jesus and His Father do not leave us in this confusion and randomness when we believe in them, but by believing in Them we may have eternal life...We can see that there is a meaning in why we believe in morality...We can see that there is love in this Word because His Father is LOVE...We see why there is meaning to life, and to afterlife...We see better that the real meaning of life cannot have meaning without the Creator of all life...And through Jesus all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made...We can see there is a reason to believe in love, forgiveness, mercy, helping others, kindness, and righteousness...
And in Jesus' Ministry we learned that God's Word is Truth...We learn that He came to serve and give a full life to the lost...We learn that He wants us to teach others about Himself...We learn from Him about the Kingdom of God...We learn that when we really know Him, we know His Father...We learn that He wants us to spread our knowledge of Him and His Father...And we learn that He wants us to grow in knowledge of Him and His Father...
