*Gospel Thoughts*
*Easter Season : Third Week - Tuesday*
*Going to the Father through Jesus*
*No one comes to the Father except through me*
*GOSPEL - Jn 14:6-14*
*FIRST READING -1 Cor 15:1-8*
*1) Going through Jesus to the Father*
All of us would like to go to the Father - God the Father
Going to the Father is the purpose of our life
Jesus says one can go to Father only through Jesus. Without going through Jesus one is unable to go to Father
If so, how to understand the concept of *Going through Jesus*
*2) Various ways through which one can go through Jesus to the Father*
Going through Jesus means following the various ways of Jesus, which was taught by Him during His public ministry on this earth
Among them some of them are following
The way of forgiveness
The way of humility
The way of Love
The way of truth
The way of faithfulness
The way of believing
The way of simplicity
The way of sharing
The way of generosity
The way of helping the needy
When we do the above things we go though the ways of Jesus. In other words we go through Jesus to the Father
*3) Am I willing to go through Jesus to the Father*
It appears very simple that one can go to Father through Jesus
But to go through Jesus, one has to practice the ways of Jesus, which needs self discipline, to which one has tk deny oneself and carry ones cross and need to follow Jesus
So am I ready to go through Jesus?
*4) One who goes through Jesus definitely reaches the Father*
It is very clear that one who goes though Jesus reaches the Father without any confusion
Because Jesus says *I am the Way*
So since Jesus is the Way, one can travel through this way and can reach to the Father
Since we have such a surety about reaching the Father, through Jesus, it is very important to go through Jesus
*Am I ready??*
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
