Life's Uncertainties
Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast. A daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Life's uncertainties. Thomas said unto him, "Lord, we know not where you go, and how can we know the way?" John 14.5. Many times along life's way, we face uncertainties, opposition, and even doubt. When we do, it is helpful to recognize that those who lived with Christ when He was here on earth faced the same perplexities. His answers and assurances to them in John 14 are meant for us as well. "Let not your heart be troubled," he said, "an emphatic command that could be rendered don't continue to be troubled." The solution. Believe in God. Believe also in me. We believe God can supply all the answers to our troubles. But Christ is God. He is the solution. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and is the only solution for no man comes unto the Father but by Him. He is the way. In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again and receive you unto myself. Whatever else may befall us, our destiny is sure. His reputation is at stake, for He has promised a place in the Father's house. He is the truth. Peter had just been informed of his coming denial that he would openly assert a lie. Jesus said, "He is the truth." The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself, but of the Father that dwells in me. Words and thoughts, not in accordance with his, are not truth. We can be sure of that. He is the life. Speaking of his imminent death, Christ said, "Where I go, you cannot follow me now, but you shall follow me afterwards," indicating their own eventual persecution and martyrdom. Yet their ultimate victory, as well as comfort, were assured. How can those things be? Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, Christ said, "That will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
