Text for the Day -- John 14:1-8
----------
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in
me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. 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, so that where I am, there you may be also. And
you know the way to the place 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. If you know me, you will know
my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’
Philip said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and we will be
satisfied.’
Devotional
----------
Jesus promises a long lasting relationship when we trust in him.
Believing in Jesus opens a path to the Father's saving love and
permanent abiding place in death. Jesus becomes the door and path to
God's eternal presence. Belief provides a sure calm in the face of
all anxiety, even death. Trust that your life is "hid with Christ in
God."
Prayer
---------------
Lord Jesus, calm my anxious heart. Amen
