“Believe In God, Believe
Also In Me”
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe
also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not
so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that
where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am
going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can
we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me…”
John 14:1-6
We admire anyone who makes a comeback, after failure and defeat.
But isn’t that what Jesus did? He defied His critics, stunned the Romans and
His disciples with His resurrection. No one ever can have claimed to do the
same.
Death ultimately triumphs over life. When a person dies, there
is no possibility of renewed existence – at least not in this world. That was
not so with Jesus Christ. He had promised His disciples that after being
crucified by His enemies, He would come back to life – triumphing over the
grave, and He did.
Jesus Christ’s comeback assures us that
we too by faith in Him will come back when we are resurrected from the grave.
The empty tomb is the foundation of our
faith.
