Bible Question: I'm studying the book of John as it relates to John 14:1-7. John 14:1-7 is a conversation between Thomas and Jesus. How does this tie in to the rest of the book of John? |
Bible Answer: Jesus was in the Upper Room celebrating the Passover with His disciples when this conversation took place. Peter had just asked Him where He was going, and why Peter couldn't follow Him. John 14:1 begins "Do not let your hearts be troubled..." So it seems to me He was addressing the group, explaining that He was going to prepare a place for them. Thomas interjects in verse 5, saying that if they didn't know where He was going, how could they know the way there? Apparently he still didn't get the picture -- Jesus was trying to prepare them for His death, but they were looking for a map. Jesus knew this was going to be His last chance to talk to them about the things that really mattered, but it took a while before they understood that He was talking about His death. Does this help? --Cheryl |
