A place prepared

Read

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ⁴ And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. ⁵ Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Reflect

On the night before his death, Jesus tells his disciples, 'Let not your heart be troubled.' He promises to prepare a place and come again for them, and when Thomas asks the way, he answers, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.'

Pray

Jesus, you go ahead of me and prepare a place. When I do not know the way, keep me close to you. Amen.
