When we are facing tough transitions in life, what does it look like to have faith in Jesus? It is not having blind faith, in fact, far from it. God has called us to have faith knowing His presence precedes us. We also have the works of God through out all of history to reflect on. 

What does it mean that Jesus is the Way, the truth, and the life? Jesus says that we shouldn't let our hearts be troubled because Jesus is the way to the place He has prepared for us to dwell with Him. We follow Jesus as the Way by loving Jesus and we love Jesus by listening to His words.

This chapter asks the question is Jesus worthy of all of our service, communion with Him, praise of Him, decision to follow Him, and belief in Him? We must ask this question of our lives, Is Jesus worthy? What if it costs me something? He is Worthy. What if others don't like me following Jesus? He is worthy. What if I don't want to obey Jesus? He is worthy of our obedience. Jesus is truly worthy, not because of what He does, though He does great things, but because of who He is. Will we truly believe and follow?

When everything is on the line, when all of the marbles are up for grabs where is our faith. Perhaps a better question, "who is our faith in?" We see here how from the disciples to Mary, Martha, and Lazurus, to the crowd their faith wanes when death is on the table. They have the author of life standing before them yet do not truly believe he can in fact save them. Brothers and sisters this mirrors our struggle in faith. We say "Yes I believe." But when the going gets tough we quickly seem to forget that Jesus is our victory. In fact, here is the main idea: Jesus is victory over death! He is the final resurrection and true life. Why does our faith fail to grasp that?
