Weekday Gospel Reflection
Friday in the Fourth Week of Easter

Jesus said to his disciples:

1 “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. 4 Where I go, you know, and you know the way.”

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.”

John 14:1-6 - World English Bible

In his Last Supper discourse, Jesus spoke of his destiny and that of his followers. Even though he would soon leave them (in his Passion), they would know the way to him through their faith. Because of their trust in him, they would survive the anguish of his death and would delight in the awe of his Resurrection. In faith, they would anticipate his Second Coming. What was the basis of that trust? Jesus answered that question by pointing to himself; he was the way to the Father, the truth the Father communicated to humanity and the life of the Father he would share with his followers. In short, he revealed the Father; he was the tangible manifestation of God on earth.

How has your faith in Christ allowed you to see God in your world?
