The Gospels: The Way, the Truth, and the Life
John 14:1-6
(v.1) For those of you that have trouble thinking of verses that proclaim Jesus to be God, this chapter will be great ammo!
It would be blasphemous to equate Himself with God, unless He is God!
(v.2) When Jesus was resurrected and ascended up to heaven, He was back in His glory, preparing the way for us. He gave us His Spirit here on earth, to indwell us, and to guide us. As we live here on earth, we are earning and gathering treasures (rewards) up in heaven. God will bless us here on earth, but only to further His kingdom.
(v.3) This is one of quite a few examples of the Rapture. The word, "rapture" is not in the Bible...but then again, the word "bible" isn't either! Does that mean it doesn't exist? Of course not!
We get the word Rapture from the Latin word translated from the Greek, which is Rapturo. It means a quick snatching up...like in jacks when you grab the jack before the ball bounces again.
Jesus will come and Rapture His Bride before He comes to judge the world...are you and your family ready?
(v.6) Some people like to say, "All roads (religions or faiths) lead to God." This is only true in one sense...all who have lived will face God individually. The faithful will face Jesus and be rewarded for our good works. The unfaithful will be judged by the Law, and be sentenced to eternal torment in hell.
For those of you that are shy about saying that Jesus is the only way to salvation, don't worry, He said it for you!
