Jesus! Gods answer to our prayers

John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled:ye believe in God, believe also in me."

The preceding chapters of John reveal many things that must have discouraged to the disciples. Jesus told them he was going away,he was going to die, there was a traitor among them, that peter would deny him three times and the other disciples would abandon him on the night of his betrayal. Sensing the disciples distress, he gave them words of encouragement,( We too can find comfort in these same words) he said"Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me."Saints if you believe in God trust God for his word. God knows the way of a life, and that way is Christ.He alone is the way to have everlasting life with the Father,Christ in us leading us to the Father.Such a tremendous honor,that God chooses to dwell not only among, but within all who believe!

"Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find if". There is one path that leads to God and life,and that path is Jesus.Despite the world's insistence that there are many ways to God,and no matter how moral or good a people or a religion appears to be, Jesus is the only atonement and reconciliation between God and man.It is solely according to his mercy he saved us.

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Next to the decption of richest, human pride is perhaps the second largest stumbling block to salvation.People often believe that they are good, and use the failings of others to justify their own sins.We are to make no provision or excuses for our flesh. The only perfect standard for life is Christ:all others have missed the mark:"for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." So  don't be troubled for Jesus not only knows the way but he is the way.Jesus God's answer to all of mans problems.
