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.
