If It Were Not So...

Today a simple thought from John 14:2. After encouraging His disciples as they prepare to face His departure, Jesus tells them, "If it were not so, I would have told you." As I type these words, our nations is hearing from a multitude of politician and commenators telling us many different things about proposed Health Care reforms. I won't to pretend to know all the answers but I do know this - they cannot all be telling us the truth. Some must be either misled or misleading. All, I fear, are trying to tell us what they think we want to hear or what they believe will lead us to agree (or at least accept) with them. Jesus was not a politician! He was never misled (he knew all things) and He never misled. When He says that He is going to prepare a place for us and that He is coming back to take us there so that we can be with Him - He's telling us the truth. If it were not so, He would have told us. On this particular day, I find this tremendously refreshing. Don't you? From Grace, George
