“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

As Jesus happened to go to the cross for us, He showed a keen interest in our eternal accommodations. He told His disciples, “I go know to prepare a place for you,” and he reminded them that there would be plenty of room in His Father’s house for all who trusted Him.

We love to have a nice home to eat, sleep, and enjoy each other’s company. But think how amazing it will be when we step into the next life and discover that God has taken care of our eternal accommodations. Praise God for giving us life “to the full,” including His presence with us now and our presence with Him later in the place He is preparing for us.

Thinking of what God has in store for those who trust Jesus can challenge us to introduce others to Him.

Who can you talk to today about their need for an eternal home and the assurance that would bring them?
