A Life Long Homecoming! or Exclusivity
Key Verse
The disciples were completely bewildered and discouraged.
Jesus had said He was going away (7:34; 8:21; 12:8, 35; 13:33), that He would die (12:32–33), that one of the Twelve was a traitor (13:21), that Peter would disown Him three times (13:38), that Satan was at work against all of them (Luke 22:31–32), and that all the disciples would fall away (Matt.
26:31).
The cumulative weight of these revelations must have greatly depressed them.
Jesus starts with the heart!
(1)
The heart is the center of who we are.
And life has a way of bringing a lot of trials our way.
Life has lots of things that can trouble us and lot’s of things we can worry about.
What do you worry about?

My kids
My marriage
MY INLAWS COMING
The Church
Finances
What are you worried about right now?
There is a remedy for trouble, fear and anxiety.
What we believe in.
BELIEF-This is a present active, meaning we are to continually be believing.
Jesus gives the hope and direction (why): 2-7
But he does not just tell us to believe he tells us why we should believe.
He is leaving to prepare something greater for us!
The disciples would not put the pieces completely together until after the resurrection.
At this point the disciples had a lot of the data they needed: They had the word of God, they had history and so much more but they just could not put all the pieces together.
How many people today have a lot of data but are clueless to the good news of Jesus?
By His words, No one comes to the Father except through Me, Jesus stressed that salvation, contrary to what many people think, is not obtainable through many ways.
Only one Way exists (cf.
Acts 4:12; 1 Tim.
2:5).
Jesus is the only access to the Father because He is the only One from the Father (cf.
John 1:1–2, 51; 3:13).
Salvation is exclusive to those who turn and trust in him.
The way of Jesus satisfies
