What is the "Way"?

My Sunday Scripture 2011.5.22.



-------------------------
The Text: John 14:1-12
-------------------------

1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me.

2 In my Father's house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you,

3 and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may be with me where I am.

4 You know the way to the place where I am going.

5 Thomas said, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'

6 Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

7 If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.

8 Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.' Jesus said to him,

9 'Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, "Show us the Father"?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I say to you I do not speak of my own accord: it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his works.

11 You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe it on the evidence of these works.

12 In all truth I tell you, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, and will perform even greater works, because I am going to the Father.

My Reading Notes:
-------------------

I have been thinking about the quesion in my blog recently: What is the way for future human beings? Where are WE going? What should WE do?

Shall we Fight with each other, then peril in the several huge difficulties like the oil crisis, weather crisis, economic crisis?

Or simply love each other and WAIT for help from about and doing Nothing?

What is our WAY?

The point is, whether we understand what is the meaning behind the words of Jesus.

We have one way to connect each other, to connect all the human beings, to connect their will, their wisdom, their power, their love, too. The way is in Jesus. He is the way. That means we have to have some channel to connect.

And that means we should have build up some common believe in the whole world. the Common Believe I mention here is: We are all in one. we should love each other, we should share. We should share our wisdom, share our property, share those things all we have. Then that is the way to God, and the Way to future.
