95 God’s Comforting Promise

John 14:1-31, TBC Book Two, Chapter 95
All of the disciples, that is, all except Judas, were sitting with Jesus around the table, and not one of them said a word. Jesus knew what they were thinking. “Do not be downhearted,” he said. “Trust the Father; trust also in me.

“Let me tell you about my Father’s house. It is a huge mansion filled with many rooms. That is where I am going, so that I can prepare a place for you. And you know that if I’m going there to prepare a place for you, then surely I will come back so I can take you there with me. You already know the way to the place where I am going.”

“But Lord,” Thomas protested, “we don’t even know where you are going. So how can we know the way to get there?”

Jesus replied, “I am the way. I am also the truth and the life. The only way a person can come to the Father is through me. Anyone who really knows me would know the Father as well. From now on, all of you do know him, and you have seen him.”

Philip sighed. “Lord,” he said, “if only you would show us the Father, that would be enough to satisfy us.”

Now Jesus was the one who looked frustrated. . . .
