READ: John 14:1-17 (NKJV)

- “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.
- “And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

- Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
- Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

- “Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

THE MESSAGE:
If you know where you are going, the next essential thing is to know how to get there. There is only one God, the same God who became man and came to the world to save mankind. Jesus is not a religious teacher or just one of the prophets, He is God Himself. Jesus is a supreme Being – the only way to the living God. There are no other ways. He is the Truth; He is Life and the true source of life.
The Israelites knew about God, but when the same God they claimed to know showed up in the form of Jesus, many rejected and refused to follow Him. They wanted to go to God, but they rejected the only true way to Him. Thomas desired to know the way (verse 5); Phillip desired to know the father, and the answer to their requests was right with them.
No one can come to God except through Jesus. When you know Him, you know God and through Him, you have direct access to God the Father. The knowledge of this mystery gives us direct access to the Father through Jesus which makes us enjoy sweet fellowship with God.
PRAYER: Dear Jesus, You are the true and only way to God the Father, grant me the grace to follow You till the end in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
