John 14
"Let not your hearts be troubled.Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way to where I am going."

5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you had known me, you would hav known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him." 8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else(U) believe on account of the works themselves.

12"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

Thank you for your ministry, Dewayne Wood. I will always remember, "What does (or could) grace in this look like for you? Tell me about it, and I will weep when you weep and rejoice when you rejoice." Thank you for pointing us to Jesus in small, everyday things. May you evermore rest in the arms of our Savior.

I cannot help but wonder why God's purpose for you in my life has ended... the book slammed shut, with the ink still dripping down the page.

I will miss you. Thank you.
