Bidding farewell to his disciples, Jesus reassures them that his death is
not the end. Jesus is our way, our road, our path forward. These words
are not meant to exclude other religions. Rather, John is reminding
his faith community of their particular and distinct identity in Jesus
Christ. In a world full of religious expression, Jesus is our way. We
are not wandering lost without direction. We are not alone in the
wilderness without a guide. We will make this road with Jesus.
Lord, we are not lost. Christ is our compass and our guide.
Thank you for showing us where to place our feet when life’s paths
feel so uncertain. Thank you for showing us the way. Amen.
