"I Am The Way"

Depicting the scene of John 14, one author described Jesus' state as follows,

"He is alone, alone like no one has ever been alone. They show absolutely no interest in His suffering. No one offers a word of comfort to Him. No one presses close to Him to express faithful love. They seem to be completely indifferent to what He says is going to happen in His own suffering. They’re self-absorbed, they’re confused, they are frightened, and their messianic expectations are crumbling. They show no real love to Him, but He loves them infinitely. So while they offer no comfort to Him in the anticipation of what He will suffer, He offers immense comfort to them; and it runs through all these chapters..."

This morning we will discover the amazing love and tenderness of our Lord as he prepares his disciples for his inevitable death on the cross. These hopeful words should encourage all of us who call Jesus our Lord and savior!
