John 14: He is the Way

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:1-6 KJV

Oh, how I cry out like Thomas. " Lord, I don't know where you're going, how can I know the way?"
I've reached the end of my rope.  I don't know where my next step should be.  To me, it feels as if my next step is going to hurl me into space, into the abyss.  I'm stepping into the unknown.  But, Jesus says we know the way.  He says we know where he is going and that we know the way.  In truth, even when things look bleakest, we still know the way.  We can be sure of that if we are disciples of Christ.  If we are disciples, then we follow him.  We see him and we see thee way.  I am the way, he says.  I am not just the way, but I am truth.  The only truth you need.  Not the world's truth, but the truth for all who believe.  Not only is he the way and the truth, but He is the life.  He is the all encompassing, life sustaining, force that provides for us both now and forever.  Our future is secure, it is already prepared.  He has gone before us and prepared a place. He knows our beginning and our end.  As the Psalmist said,  The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Ps. 121:8 KJV)

Forever more, he has prepared that place for us where we will dwell forever more. What do we have to fear, He is the way.
