The Story | What Can I Do With My Anxiety?
The Life Of Jesus
John’s biography of Jesus slows as he chronicles the week leading up to Jesus’ death. Jesus has a long, careful conversation with the disciples, and today, we listen to the beginning of that conversation. He begins with a strong command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” He then reinforces it with three unshakable assurances: He is going ahead of them, He has cleared the way to the Father, and He will send supernatural power so they can continue His work.

- Give an example of how Jesus has been (a) the Way (b) the Truth and (c) the Life, in your own journey.
