The way, the truth and the life ... a new future for all

Morning: Psalms 93, 98; Jonah 2:1-9; Acts 2:14, 22-32

Evening: Psalm 66; John 14:1-14

Pious followers of Jesus sometimes twist his words out of shape. Thinking they grasp the truth, they may miss it completely. When Jesus says, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” some think he is a sort of heavenly boarder guard, checking people’s visas! Instead, he is everyone’s guide towards their true place in the world. God’s dream is for everyone to find themselves ‘at home’ here. Those who have never even heard of Jesus are, of course, part of this dream too ... It is unimaginable that anyone might be excluded. His new future is for all.
