Scripture: In my parents house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the parent except through me. —John 14:2-6 Devotional: Where is the place that Spirit has gone to prepare for you? Can we dig metaphorically into the text? This portion of text is enlightening in so many ways. Some lean on the atonement of the text as the main subject — the death of Jesus, that produces life in us! May I add to this thought? God is indeed so vast. We also have here this idea of ONE God with many names, many spaces of thought, and many rooms to be opened. We also engage this “one way '' that many often attribute to the Jesus of their understanding. I see this “way” as “Christ Consciousness" — the mind of God in the earth. Maybe the way to get to God is by engaging God's mind, holding a piece of God's consciousness for the world, and letting LOVE LEAD! LOVE IS THE WAY and Jesus is love. Whichever mansion we access in this massive and expansive HOUSE, let's be sure we understand all that is God's that it carries God's heart and mind of love. Every door that is true to God, I believe, behind it, is great love. Prayer/Reflection: God, unlock new levels of love in me! Let my dwelling place be free and filled with your love. Let all that I do, hold love at the center.
