In John 14:1, Jesus literally says, "do not let your hearts be shaken, trust in me." Jesus' words resonate in a world filled with anxiety. Social media is not the way to find truth or life. In this incredible passage, Jesus encounters our anxiety and offers peace in the midst of fear and chaos. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
Jesus is the way to the Father. He has promised us a future and a hope that transcends the brokenness of the world.
Jesus is the truth. In an age of confusion, we need the person of truth to speak into our lives.
Jesus is Life. The life Jesus offers is one of wholeness. He offers peace with God, peace with one another, and peace with ourselves.
Thomas Kempis summarizes Jesus' words well. "Follow me. I am the way and the truth and the life. Without the way there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living. I am the way which you must follow; the truth which you must believe; the life for which you must hope.
