“I Am The Way And The
Truth
And The Life”
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe
also in me. 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. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so
how can we know the way?”
Jesus
answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.
John 14:1-6
Life
is not easy. It is kind of like the high flying trapeze artist. When the person
jumps off it is all about the other trapeze artist catching him. The key is
trust. With outstretched arms, the flyer must trust that the catcher is ready
and able to grab him. Dying is like trusting in God as the catcher. After we
have flown through life, we can look forward to God reaching out to catch His
followers and to pull us safely to Himself forever. It is a nice thought.
Life
is a risky business, but be encouraged! If you have put your faith in Jesus
Christ, the Catcher is waiting at the end to take you safely home.
Our heavenly Father’s arms will one day catch His children.
