EPISODE DETAILS: Jesus didn’t want to upset the disciples with what He had said, but He could tell they were upset. When Jesus told them not to let their hearts be troubled, He was telling them that they could ease their hearts and that things were ok. Jesus didn’t want them to be upset either. So He went to words of comfort for His disciples. SERIES DETAILS: In this series, we are going to be looking at the last night Jesus spent with His disciples. Jesus spent the last few hours He had with His disciples to teach them and give them some words of encouragement. In less than 24 hours Jesus would be arrested and crucified. The last night with Jesus is found in John 13-17. These are some of the most passionate teachings and words of Jesus from His entire Earthly ministry. Let’s look at them together.

[2] Love prepares a welcome. With love, expectant parents prepare a room for the baby. With love, the hostess prepares for her guests. Jesus prepares a place for His people because He loves them and is confident of their arrival. - Enduring Word -

[3] Thomas should be praised for honestly and clearly explaining his confusion. He thought Jesus was simply going to another place, as if it were another city. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-14/amp/
[4] Simply put, if Jesus is not the only way to God, then He is not any way to God. If there are many roads to God, then Jesus is not one of them, because He absolutely claimed there was only one road to God, and He Himself was that road. If Jesus is not the only way to God, then He was not a honest man; He was most certainly not a true prophet. He then would either be a madman or a lying devil. There is no middle ground available. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-14/amp/
[5] Jesus didn’t say that He would show us a way; He said that He is the way. He didn’t promise to teach us a truth; He said that He is the truth. Jesus didn’t offer us the secrets to life; He said that He is the life.
· I’m wandering about; I don’t know where I’m going. Jesus is the way.
· I’m confused; I don’t know what to think. Jesus is the truth.
· I’m dead inside and don’t know if I can go on. Jesus is the life. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-14/amp/
