—John 14:1-14
by: Gabi Patz.
Confession: I couldn’t get anywhere without my phone telling me exactly where I’m supposed to turn. Thomas asked Jesus for similar directions, saying, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way” (v.5, NIV). This seems reasonable, but Thomas missed the mark. Jesus was not describing a physical place—He was describing heaven. While Thomas was not given the step-by-step directions he was looking for, Jesus did tell him how to get there. Thankfully, we do not have to worry about missing a turn or taking the wrong exit. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; only through relationship and belief in Him do we have access to God.
