From Pastor Jay:
John 14:1-14 is part of the farewell discourse of Jesus to the disciples. It contains some wonderful messages we often hear at funerals – “let not your heart be troubled” and “in my Father’s house there are many dwelling places” (KJV – mansions) that await us. The hope of a home in heaven is great to hear about, but then Thomas had to ask how to get there. And then Jesus uttered the words that have been used by Christians to clobber people over the head or cut them off from grace: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Ouch. So, what is a preacher to do? If you are dumb like me, you plunge in and try to offer an alternative view of this one verse and then move to a broader view of God's desire that all come to God (2 Peter 3:9). Brian, Thomas, and Joyful Noise provide music; Henry is liturgist; and JJ, Sherbert & Ziggy celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
