Reflection on the WORD
“Jesus – Eternal Salvation”: Jesus proclaimed, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father, except through Me.” Ponder on, “God our Almighty Creator, Desires that every person gain Eternal Salvation. He Sends His Son, Jesus to reveal to us; how we can receive this Divine Gift. “Do we love Jesus deeply as “The Way, Truth and Life”?
John 14:1-3, 6-7, 11-12
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may be with me where I am.
‘I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him.
‘You must believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe it on the evidence of these works. In all truth I tell you, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself, and will perform even greater works, because I am going to the Father.’
