This morning read and pondered Thomas' question;
"We don't know where you are going
how can we know the way....?"
Jesus responded;
"I am
The Way
The Truth
The Life"
John 14:5-6
I was thinking about that.
Thomas was asking for 'street directions'....
"Where are you going.... and how do we get there?"
Jesus was talking about a different paradigm
- not how to
walk,
drive,
boat,
fly
to get to a
....place
a destination.....
but
How to
BE
in this moment
and the next
for eternity....
Wow. Trying to wrap my head around that... :P
Not a arrival
and now I am
done...
but a way of Being.....
always.
Later on Jesus said,
'Eternal life is to Know
the father and me'. John 17:3
Not a 'pill' that makes me
live forever
Not a paradise that is sitting on a beach
forever
but a
'way of living'
that is an
every moment...
...forever
A knowing
believing
trusting
relying on
receiving from
working with
talking to
rejoicing in
worshiping
loving back
super filled by
overflowing out of
the One who is glorious
and loves me
and wants to partner with me
to manage His creation...
forever...
Wow.
O Lord Jesus
I want
that....
...I want
You.
Yes.
