Christ`s Way
Jesus say, "I am the way, the truth, and the life : no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
The heading of this chapter is, "Christ Comforted His
Disciples," and truly He gives the best comfort simply by
telling about Himself. The first verse begins, "Let not your
heart be troubled." This verse seems to say to doubting
Thomas, "Let not your mind be troubled."
This sixth verse is a release from perplxity. Heaven often
seems distant and unknown, but if He who made the road
thither is our guide we need not fear to lose the way. We do not
want to see far ahead, only far enough to discern Him and
trace His footsteps. Christ does not give us the full
revelatoins of God and heaven at once: We could not bear
them now. He gives us Himself, and in that gift everything
is secure. If you own the mines you will not lack treaure.
If the fountain is your you will have water day by day.
Our peace lies not in beliving much, but in believing
well. If our faith in Him is unwavering He will return it with
knowledge. The way to escape from doubts is to think
about Christ. What we need is not explanation, but confi-
dence. Sometimes we know not what to believe, but always
we know whom we have believed. Religion is not a theory,
not a doctrine; it is the coming of a person to a person, by a
person. They who follow Christ, even through darkness,
will surely reach the Father.
