“I Will Come
Back And Take You To Be With Me”
“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. If you really know me, you will know my Father as
well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us
the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been
among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can
you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that
the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority.
Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when
I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on
the evidence of the works themselves.
God
appointed Jesus to be Our Savior. God makes sure we know Jesus is the only way
to know Him, through the Bible. Only through Jesus can we get to heaven.
Christ
is the only One who can provide spiritual certainty.
Spiritual phonies will only take us for a ride, but
Jesus will take us all the way to heaven.
