Happenings at Wawa First United – May 6th

John 14:1-14  I am the way, the truth, the life.

The words for John’s gospel are some of the most comforting in scripture and most often shared at funerals or celebrations of life, especially the words, “ I go to prepare a place for you.”

Yet, they are followed with what sounds like stern words of admonition: “No one come to God except through me.” It’s easy to conclude that if you believe certain things about Jesus, you will get to God.

Remember that in John’s gospel, Jesus is the embodiment of God’s wisdom, which is the creative and sustaining impulse of all creation. While no one comes to God except through wisdom, that wisdom is available to all humans and non- humankind. We just need to reflect upon the relationships that sustain us to know this is true.

Creation Connection:

We live in a world of human and non- human relationships. As participants in the wisdom of God through our relationship with Christ, our role is to bring those relationships into balance.
