John 14:5-6 parts –“Thomas said to him, ‘Lord,….so how can we know the way?’ Jesus answered,’ I am the way…'” Jesus never soft pedaled, beat around the bush, dodged, hemmed and hawed–I am sure you get the point. He, rather, spoke accurately and directly. Thomas asked the same question each of us would ask and Jesus answered in His normal profound way. There is no question—He is absolute. Does your faith question Jesus’ answer or is your reply–absolutely, positively, without any doubt–I am sure you get the point. Have a great weekend.

John 14:2-3 “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? 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.” It is very difficult to imagine that our Savior loves each of us so much that He is preparing a palace for each of us exclusively so He can enjoy your and my presence. Imagine the love He wants you and me to know. Imagine, you are His adopted child and are soon to inherit a fortune for all eternity beyond belief. How can we be other than faithful?

John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.” Can you state any reason to worry knowing your Jesus is always walking by your side? State just one reason. There is not even one legitimate reason any of has. Each of us is surrounded in the arms of our Jesus. You and I have no reason to worry—that is the simple truth. We all have the unique honor of living worry free lives simply because of our relationship with our Savior. Never let anything spoil that relationship.

John 13:34-35″A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Love at times is difficult. Our human nature enters our minds and our defense mentality is just the opposite of love. As children of our Heavenly Father, as disciples of our Savior and as representatives of our God we are bound to love one another. We all cherish the thought of being loved by our God. It is your and my responsibility to learn from and to follow His example.

John 12:46 “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should walk in darkness.” How much simpler could Jesus express truth? If you want light–if you want truth–if you want security–if you want peace–if you want true love–believe in me and perpetually have light. What a wonderful Savior you and I worship and enjoy!

John 12:42-43 ” Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved human praise more than praise from God.” Without me writing anything I am sure you see the problem–the last phrase. That phrase is a human nature flaw. Being politically correct is a human weakness which often keeps truth from being exposed. The absolute truth of Scripture should never be compromised. You and I have the responsibility of telling any and every one the truth as God has told us His truth. Only then will we hear our Father say as we enter Heaven—Well done! Human praise is very temporary and changes in an instant. God praise is constant and eternal. Have a great weekend.
