“You Know The Way To The Place

Where I Am Going”

“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

Anyone who has been deprived of home, even for a short time, will understand the comfort Jesus’ disciples drew from His words when He promised that an eternal home awaited them. Then, to make their joy complete, Jesus told them He would prepare and guide them to that home and, joy of joys, He would be there too.

Remember the greatest comfort of this life: Jesus promised that one day we will go home to be with Him.

There is no place like home – especially when home is heaven.
