Clearing the Way: I am the Father and the Father is in me

Pastor Evan explores John 14. Following Palm Sunday we see several interactions with Jesus and disciples and other people. Jesus in this particular story begins by trying to comfort the disciples and is trying to show them he has a greater plan for them. "No one comes to the father except through me," is one of the most controversial things that Jesus said in his lifetime. Jesus states the exclusive way in which we come to the father.  It required a great deal of trust for the disciples to follow Jesus, yet it was difficult for them. We can place ourselves in that story. God is taking us somewhere and it requires our trust and our faith. So, what does it look like to follow him there?
