Revealing the Way

"Do you think I'm ever going to see her again?"Standing in a hospital hallway after his wife's death, a grieving husband asked Paul the question that haunts us all. After decades together, suddenly she's gone. Suddenly he's alone. Will they ever be together again?In our latest message from the "Revealing Jesus" series, Paul tackles the anxiety we all feel about death: our own and those we love. Drawing from John 13:36-14:7, where Jesus speaks His final words to His friends the night before His crucifixion, we discover four promises that change everything about how we face death.Promise 1: Jesus will be our forerunner. He's gone ahead to prepare a place for usPromise 2: Jesus will lead us there. We won't have to navigate death alonePromise 3: Jesus is the destination. Heaven is about being with Him, not just a placePromise 4: Jesus is the only way. No one comes to the Father except through HimFrom Peter's bravado ("I'll lay down my life for you!") to Thomas's confusion ("We don't know where you're going!"), the disciples struggle to understand. But Jesus makes it crystal clear: "I am the way and the truth and the life."This message confronts our contemporary "all roads lead to heaven" culture with Jesus' exclusive claim. It challenges our view of heaven as just paradise without pain, reminding us that heaven is first about a person before it's about a place. And it asks where we're really placing our trust when life falls apart.Series: Revealing Jesus (John 13-17) Speaker: Paul Passage: John 13:36-14:7
