I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: The Great I Am, pt. 6 (John 14:1–6):
• “Let not your heart be troubled.”
- In John 13, Jesus revealed that one disciple would betray Him and that He was about to leave, so the disciples were troubled.
•Jesus instructed them to set their hearts and minds at ease—though they will face trouble, He doesn’t want their hearts to be troubled.
- The treatment for a troubled heart is trusting in Jesus, who gives peace. (Isaiah 26:3)
• “In My Father’s house…I go to prepare a place for you.”
- Heaven is a place Jesus intimately knows. He goes to prepare a place for His bride so that where He is, His bride may also be. The hope is being with Him forever.
• Jesus suggests they should know where He is going and how to get there, but Thomas’s comment shows otherwise.
- They had been walking with Jesus for three years; walking with Him should change you.
- Some, unlike Thomas, hide their ignorance, which delays progress and growth.
- Jesus spoke of heavenly things, but their minds were focused on earthly things.
- The carnal mind is at enmity with God.
• “I am…the way, the truth, the life.”
- “The” = definite article; only one.
- If your hope is Heaven, you must go the way God has provided, and no one can come to the Father except through the Son.
