John 14:4 … To Know where we are Going<br />

(03/10/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />

“To allow your Self <strong>to</strong> be led,<br />

s<strong>to</strong>p blindly following.” ~ Jesus Christ<br />

As it turns out, it is actually the text of John 14:4 that is being echoed here, for<br />

indeed we all innately “know the place <strong>to</strong> where [Jesus] was going” … Consider:<br />

*We know the way <strong>to</strong> Love is via Caring when least inclined <strong>to</strong> do so, for those<br />

least deserving of the same … *We know the way <strong>to</strong> Heaven; that Heaven is an<br />

internal eternity, accessed during every deed of selfless Kindness … *We know<br />

the way <strong>to</strong> Salvation; that Salvation comes <strong>to</strong> those who humble their own selves<br />

(Matthew 18:3-4) by Caring for those in need (Matthew 5:40-48, Matthew 24:12-14 &<br />

Matthew 25:35-40 et al) … And perhaps most importantly of all, we need not<br />

“learn” any of these Truths from a book or another person. Perhaps most<br />

importantly of all, while guides of Truth are indeed ever-present (we can know<br />

them by their Fruits), they are not in any way necessary for us <strong>to</strong> recognize (and then<br />

re-Member) The Way of Christ.<br />

Amen … As it was in our infancy, let it again be so.<br />
