<p>14:5 <i>Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where you go. How do we discern the way?</i>- See on :4. Here we have our typical problem- we know the way of the cross, but in practice we don&rsquo;t know- or rather, we don&rsquo;t want to know. The disciples were confused as to where the Lord Jesus was going and to where He was leading them. His response was that He was and is &ldquo;the way&rdquo;. C.H. Dodd in <i>The Interpretation Of John&rsquo;s Gospel</i> p. 412 suggests the meaning of Jn. 14:4,5 as: &ldquo;You know the way in that I am the way, but you do not know where it leads&rdquo;, and Thomas therefore objects: &ldquo;If we do not know the destination, how can we know the way?&rdquo;. The Lord&rsquo;s response is that He is the way. That&rsquo;s it. It&rsquo;s not so much the destination as the way there. The excellency of knowing Christ demands of us to walk in His way, to know Him as the life right now, to live His life, to be in His way. The way is the goal; &lsquo;You don&rsquo;t need any further horizons than that, than me, right now&rsquo;. This is totally unappreciated by the prosperity Gospel.</p>
