John 14:1-7

“I am the way, the truth and the life. No on comes to the Father except through me.”

In this verse the disciples were basically freaking out. They were scared of what will happen to Jesus, what will happen to the disciples and they were confused that Jesus was certain that Peter would disown him 3 times.

So Jesus basically gave them a big disclaimer. He made sure they knew and we know that as long as we trust in Him everything’s gonna turn out okay and we’ll all end up in heaven with Jesus.

I liked how everyone was like “I’ll do anything for you!” and they were all worked up so Jesus said, “Calm down you guys, I’ll be back.”

It really shows how little we know and how wise Jesus is and that really comforts me and keeps me from worrying. His wisdom is very well portrayed when Jesus was talking all big and Jesus just tore him down telling him he’d deny Jesus.

How would you feel if God Himself shoed up one day said, “Sometime in the next week you’re going to deny that you even like me…..?”

i think the part i like the best is about there are many rooms in his house. telling us that there is room for all of us to come and join him, and that if he has prepared a place for us, hes coming back.

i like how its saying hes going to come and get us, but leaves it so wide open. i think that if i die and he hasnt came back to earth yet i will ask him how he picks the right day.

but i like how he is reasureing the ppl that he will be back for them, and that there is something after this life, thats much better

If God showed up today right in front of me society, myself included, would most likely not even believe it's HIM. Because we live in a world of skeptics, we as a nation don't believe truth because we are so caught up in the lies of the outside world.

PS srry bout the rant

I agree with Mandy. I honesty don't think I would believe it was actually Jesus, but I would be in shock if he told me that I was going to deny him this week. I have thought about times if someone were to put a gun to my head and ask me if I believed in God, and I truly think that I would say yes. I know it would be hard, but I stand up for what I believe and I hope and prayer that if it were to happen, I wouldn't be just caught up in the moment and deny my faith.

Wow if he told me I'd deny him I would probably go into major denial. I'd know that it would happen but I wouldn't want it to. And then when it would happen I would feel extremely terrible, basically I'd probably be just like Peter

okay, so right away I'd be offened if Jesus told me that...but looking on my past years through middle school and a little in high school, I can see how I have, in some ways, denied my faith- through my words or my actions. So if jesus told me that now, I wouldn't be offened, but ashamed.

I'm trying and trying and trying to think of just how TERRIBLE Peter would have felt!! I would have been balling my eyes out! Just being in total denial of it until it happened, and then BAM!... you just denied knowing one of your closest friends. I mean, if that's not a crisis... I don't know what is. I would want to go crawl uder a rock for the remainder of my life!
And I also, as much as I hate to admit it, agree with Mandy. We live in a world with so much doubt, it would probably take something really amazing to convince me.

i agree with aron about the best part being the part about the room for me in the fathers house. i like the fact that he will come to take me to his house to become my house for etirnity.if god showed up today i would probably faint, but if he told me that i was going to deny him three times i would lock myself in my room for the week,thats if i believed it was him.and then when he proved it to me i would be too bussy trying to aplogize i wouldnt even know what he was saying to me then i wouldnt feel very good after he came back and told me.

Dang it....see Jesus i knew i'd mess it up somehow.....sorry. no but really i'd probably cry. :( disappointment is the worst for me and i'd just crumble....
knowing that jesus has made room for ME in his house is awesome. of all the people who deserve it before me, Jesus rocks my socks.

I think it is interesting that we always think we are right with Jesus but when He pulls a move, like telling the disciples that Peter is going to deny Him 3 times, we tend to lose faith and lose sight of who is actually talking to us. It's so hard to have faith ALL the time but that is exactly what being a Christian is: having faith in Jesus.
