I Am the Way

Summary

The following story is taken from St. John 14: 1-31.

One evening, as the disciples gathered with Jesus in the upper room of a humble dwelling, a sense of anticipation filled the air. They knew that their time together was ending, and they longed to hear the words of wisdom and comfort that their beloved teacher had to impart to them.

Jesus looked at his disciples with compassion and love, knowing the trials and tribulations that lay ahead for them. He spoke to them with words of comfort and reassurance, reminding them of the eternal truths that would sustain them in the days to come.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled," Jesus said, his voice gentle and reassuring. "Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. 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."
