"You Know The Way; And Soon The Place" [John - Core Series] (John 14:1-4; Matt.21:12-17; Mark 11:12-19; Luke 19:45-48)
“Soon you will know where I am at; you know the way already
(I am the way, as I once said, relax now and stay steady).
My Father’s house has many rooms – one’s there for each Apostle –
So many cultures in the world, so don’t just be a fossil.“For things have changed – two thousand years our culture’s had God’s blessing;
It’s time to move on out, now guys, your faith in God confessing;
I’ve trained you to leap over walls, go ’round, or under, through them;
So when the power has come on you – it’s time those walls you blew them.“You trust in God, trust Me as well, I’ll be out there to meet you;
Remember when I temple cleared back at the first, it featured
A chat with elders, ‘Who are you, that you can clear the temple?’
I said, ‘I am My Father’s house – just take a look – it’s simple –“ ‘My Father’s house has many rooms for cultures not just Jewish;
A house of prayer for nations’ folks – the world will soon be newish;
For when you kill Me I will rise, and head out to the nations,
To be with folks whom I’ll send out as they live their oblations.“ ‘Three days, like Jonah in the tomb – or fish, when he sailed westward –
I will be gone, then I’ll be back, too long those guys have festered;
They’ll get a stripped-down version of our Jewish treasured Scripture,
As salt, and light, and leaven, to their multi-cultured picture.“ ‘My body is the temple now, with curtain gone for access;
No outer-court to keep folks out, as life in God they practice;
We will not contravene their rules, bring others to their table;
Some Greeks came around today but I’ll send you to them as able’.“I will come back and get you, guys, relax, your time is coming;
But just for now I’ve got a task for you to do – not funny –
For it will cost you everything as you fulfill this mission,
Should you accept, yes, you will die, as you’re disciple-fishing.”navigation
