I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. John 14:29
Out of love for these close followers Jesus again tries to let them in on what is about to happen. He very obviously tells them He is leaving this world. He is going to His Father. Seems like it should have been a given that He was going, but the disciples had their own pre-conceived ideas about what might be happening. They could not or would not believe that their Teacher could ever die.
God has also given us advance notice about what is going to occur in our lives. The Bible explains so clearly what God has planned for us, yet we refuse to accept it. God has designed this great plan that allows us a place in heaven. All we have to do is accept Jesus and we get to be in heaven. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Could it be any simpler? No, but we sure make it seem difficult. We want to try every other option that we can think of. God loves me the same as He loves the disciples. God desires that I have this figured out and have a great relationship with Him through His Son. God is so good to me. Thank You God for loving me and opening The Way for me. Amen.
