To Know & Be Known John 14:1-14

I am glad to live in a time when we have Google Maps. That technology which helps us get places, able to speak directions to us and knowing up-to-date delays and the best route is quite incredible. But when The Way is with you, you do not need a map. In the lectionary Gospel passage for today Thomas asks Jesus, "We do not know where you are going so how can we know the way?" It's an honest question I can easily imagine asking Jesus myself. And Jesus replies, "I am the way (and the truth and the life)". The Way is not a place per se, but a person. When I hearJesus say, "I am" it reminds me of how God identified Godself to Moses at the burning bush. And our call is to follow Jesus wherever he may lead. No map required but please do, buckle up and enjoy the ride!
