Troubled By Death
Fred Lowery
John 14:1-6
Death is never easy. It is never expected. And when someone has died it is never easy to accept.
Death is always a troubling experience.
We hear Jesus encouraging his disciples concerning His own death. He says ''DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED.''
Jesus had just told them of his own approaching death. For 3 years he had been their close friend - they had forsaken everything to follow him - their families, their occupation - their friends. And now Jesus was telling them he was going to die and go away but that they should not be troubled.
John 14:1-6
1''Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going. 5Thomas said to him, Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way? 6Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
In these words, Jesus gives us the ingredients of a strong and sustaining faith.

''trust in God, trust also in me.
Psalm 14:1 ''The fool has said in his heart. There is no God.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
To believe in God is one thing.
To believe in Christ is another.
To believe in God makes one a Diest.
To believe in Christ makes one a Christian.
Christ is the savior
Christ is God's Son.
Christ is God with skin on His face ...
