Jn 14:1-12 May 3-26 The God You Picture Shapes Your Mental Health—Is Yours Healthy?

Send us Fan MailIn today’s edition there is a lot going on in this Gospel which is typical in John’s Gospel.  The Gospel starts with Jesus trying to reassure his disciples.  He speaks about providing a place for them and returning to come and get them.  It is obvious that Jesus is feeling a connection and is being protective of them.  When people feel they belong—whether in a family, community, or spiritual group—they are more willing to be vulnerable, explore questions of meaning, and let themselves be “seen” by others and by the Divine. It is important to examine who is Jesus for you?  Is he relevant to your life?  What is his personality like?  Are you comfortable seeing Jesus as brother, a friend, wise mentor?  I am always fascinated with the answers I get when I ask who is God for you?  Some believe in God but see God as a supreme being, others a creator or judge.  How we perceive God goes a long way on how we relate to our God and our spiritual development.  Complete our 1 Minute Survey
