Christianity is not about going to heaven when you die

Morning: Psalms 85, 87; Exodus 3:1-12; Hebrews 11:23-31

Evening: Psalm 89:1-29; John 14:6-14

Jesus says, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” not to guarantee Christians admission to a spiritual ‘heaven’ where there are no Buddhists, Hindus or Moslems! Thomas asks, “How can we know the way” ... the way to where you’re going? Jesus affirms he himself is the Way of truth and life intended for all humankind and if you want to be on that path here and now, you may learn more about it from him. If you wonder what lies beyond this life, for that you must trust God’s Love and Mercy, mysterious though they be.
