Stay on the Way By: Mike Wittmer

Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way? John 14:5
Today's Scripture: John 14:1–7 Dusk fell as I followed Li Bao along the tops of terraced walls cut into the mountains of central China. I had never been this way before, and I couldn’t see more than one step ahead or how steep the ground dropped off to our left. I gulped and stuck close to Li. I didn’t know where we were going or how long it would take, but I trusted my friend.
I was in the same position as Thomas, the disciple who always seemed to need reassurance. Jesus told His disciples that He must leave to prepare a place for them and that they knew “the way to the place where [He was] going” (John 14:4). Thomas asked a logical follow-up question: “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” (v. 5).
Jesus didn’t quench Thomas’s doubt by explaining where He was taking them. He simply assured His disciple that He was the way there. And that was enough.
We too have questions about our future. None of us know the details of what lies ahead. Life is full of twists we don’t see coming. That’s okay. It’s enough to know Jesus, who is “the way and the truth and the life” (v. 6).
Jesus knows what’s next. He only asks that we walk close to Him.
Reflect & Pray What’s your biggest fear about your future? Why is it enough to follow Jesus into that future?
Father, help us see that the journey is the destination, and the way is Your Son.

Jesus drew us a road map of how to get to where He is. It is contained in the pages of the Holy Bible. If we will read it, and obey it, we will get to the straight gate and the end of the narrow way and inherit eternal life. We know the way, it is following Jesus Christ, our Shepherd. If we follow anyone else, we will be lost.
