“The Way”

6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” John 14:6-7 (NLT)

The Presence

A few years ago, I had the privilege of hearing a pastor speak on John chapter 14. This pastor emphasized so many things about this chapter but one sentence struck me so deep. His statement was, “The presence of Jesus helps us overcome our storms.” Through every circumstance, He is the way. He provides for us in all situations.

Written In My Bible

I always write down things I take away from a sermon and underline verses in my bible. I love doing this. Each time I see my handwritten notes, it reminds me of how a verse laid something on my heart that day and why a verse stuck with me. Everytime I look in the book of John and turn to chapter 14, I see my handwritten notes beside John chapter 14, “The presence of Jesus helps us overcome our storms.”

In verse 5 of John chapter 14, Thomas is talking to Jesus. “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” There have been countless times in my life when I did not know where I was going. In times like these, I have been comforted and experienced a peace like no other. Getting to know who Jesus is, is the biggest blessing. Jesus is always with us and He is who He says He is. (NLT)
