UNDAILY Episode 118
“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. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
JOHN 14, 1-7 (NIV)
Each of us is constantly seeking the right path. We ask ourselves about the meaning of life and the purpose of our existence. Though the world offers many paths, the Gospel of Saint John reminds us today of that one, most important path that leads through Jesus. "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me." These words of Jesus to His disciples and to all of us in today's uncertain and fearful world, sound like a balm for the soul. Jesus does not ask us to ignore reality but encourages us to trust that He is with us, guiding our lives as Teacher, Guide, and Savior.
