"The Path to Victory" (John 14: 1-12)

Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 10, 2020

I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life

Readings:

First Lesson: 1 Kings 18:16-45

Second Lesson: 1 Peter 2:4-10

Psalm 33

Sermon: John 14:1-12

To not know what is the right way, is a really tough thing.  The Disciples asked Jesus, “…how can we know the way?”

Don’t we all struggle with the same questions the Disciples had in the upper room as Jesus was preparing to give his life for a sinful world? 

Don’t we still have questions like the Disciples had about the Jesus?  He said, “..I am in the Father and the Father is in me? “ 

Even if we believe, we may still have questions about our eternal life.  Answers of uncertainty come from questions about how the victory for eternal life comes to us. 

We have a Savior who tells us we are on the path to victory right now thru the one who is the way, the truth, and the life, because he paid for all our sins himself and has prepared a place for us in heaven.  His victory is our victory.

Jesus intends to bring comfort to us with that message he shared with the Disciples. 

You are the way, the truth, the life;

Grant us that way to know,

That truth to keep, that life to win

Whose joys eternal flow

Christian Worship Hymnal #356, verse 4
