Joh 14:1-4  "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going."

There is a certain calm and contentment with belief in The Absolute Love. Abiding in that love, living in that love, basking in His presence brings peace in the midst of turmoil and trial. 

However, skepticism creeps in when we don't listen or hear. Thomas didn't hear one word "way". Jesus didn't say you know where I am going. Jesus said you know the way to where I am going! They certainly all knew Him but they did not understand what he was telling them about Himself. 

Joh 14:5  "Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?"

He, himself was the way, you don't abide in the presence of God, in Absolute Love unless you find your way in Jesus Christ, Yeshua Messiah, Isa Al Masih. 

Joh 14:6-14  "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."  Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."  Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.  Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."

Jesus now connects the dots, belief means doing the same as Him, in particular it means keeping Jesus commands. Why? Keeping Jesus' commands are the very Word of God. Jesus is the Word. The Spirit of God illuminates and guides us in the activity of obedience to God the Father through the Word to accomplish God's will, and this allows the peace of abiding in the love of God to be shed abroad in our hearts. 

Joh 14:15-17  "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,  even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you."

2Co 4:6  "For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 

The disciples and all followers of Jesus after His death, burial and resurrection would understand. You won't see me- but you will see me. We now see by faith. 

Joh 14:18-20  "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you."

We see with the eyes of our heart. 


Eph 1:16-21  "I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,  having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might  that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,  far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come." 

Seeing with the heart, believing brings His Absolute Love and in love we walk in obedience. 

Joh 14:21  "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

To those who are not walking in faith it is very hard to understand. You may be confused yourself? Jesus will not leave you without knowing, but it will remain a mystery. 

Joh 14:22  "Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"

The solution is loving Jesus Christ- He is the way to abiding in God. He is Absolute Love. If you don't love Him you won't want to have Him abide in you!

Joh 14:23-24  "Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me."
