Do You Know the Way?

John 14:2-6 – In my Father’s house are many rooms. 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, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to 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.

These words are some of the most loved words Jesus spoke. He unmistakably promises to return for those who have believed in him and bring them into God’s presence forever. This is eternal life. This is living with Jesus forever in the place he has prepared for us. Certainly every one of us wants to know and experience a joyous existence forever after we die. How do we get there?

Jesus said that the disciples who had spent the last three years with him “know the way,” but Thomas spoke words of confusion on behalf of all of them, “We do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

Thomas heard Jesus’ words, and he understood their literal meaning. A place is a location. It takes a way – a road or path – to get to a location. Yet, Jesus clarified his wording to let them know that they did know the way. The way was not a road. The way was a person. The true Way still is that same person. The only begotten Son of God.

Your eternity waits as does all of ours. The road you take after your life here is done is fully dependent on choosing the right way now. That road is a road of relationship. Do you know the Way? He would love for you to. Receive his love and begin a relationship with Jesus today. He has a room for you.
