《走哪一條路？》
31 他既出去，耶穌就說：「如今人子得了榮耀，神在人子身上也得了榮耀。 32 神要因自己榮耀人子，並且要快快地榮耀祂。 33 小子們，我還有不多的時候與你們同在；後來你們要找我，但我所去的地方你們不能到。這話我曾對猶太人說過，如今也照樣對你們說。 34 我賜給你們一條新命令，乃是叫你們彼此相愛；我怎樣愛你們，你們也要怎樣相愛。 35 你們若有彼此相愛的心，眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了。」 36 西門彼得問耶穌說：「主往哪裏去？」耶穌回答說：「我所去的地方，你現在不能跟我去，後來卻要跟我去。」 37 彼得說：「主啊，我為甚麼現在不能跟祢去？我願意為祢捨命！」 38 耶穌說：「你願意為我捨命嗎？我實實在在地告訴你，雞叫以先，你要三次不認我。」
1 「你們心裏不要憂愁；你們信神，也當信我。 2 在我父的家裏有許多住處；若是沒有，我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。 3 我若去為你們預備了地方，就必再來接你們到我那裏去，我在哪裏，叫你們也在那裏。 4 我往哪裏去，你們知道；那條路，你們也知道。」 5 多馬對祂說：「主啊，我們不知道祢往哪裏去，怎麼知道那條路呢？」 6 耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着我，沒有人能到父那裏去。 7 你們若認識我，也就認識我的父。從今以後，你們認識祂，並且已經看見祂。」 8 腓力對祂說：「求主將父顯給我們看，我們就知足了。」 9 耶穌對他說：「腓力，我與你們同在這樣長久，你還不認識我嗎？人看見了我，就是看見了父；你怎麼說『將父顯給我們看』呢？ 10 我在父裏面，父在我裏面，你不信嗎？我對你們所說的話，不是憑着自己說的，乃是住在我裏面的父做祂自己的事。 11 你們當信我，我在父裏面，父在我裏面；即或不信，也當因我所做的事信我。 12 我實實在在地告訴你們，我所做的事，信我的人也要做，並且要做比這更大的事，因為我往父那裏去。 13 你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必成就，叫父因兒子得榮耀。 14 你們若奉我的名求甚麼，我必成就。」 (約翰福音十三31-十四14)
31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will glorify the Son in Himself, and will glorify Him at once. 33 “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 36 Simon Peter asked Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” 37 Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.” 38 Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we don’t know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 13:31-14:14)

分享【只有一條路】
當猶大離開後，耶穌知道自己將要走向十字架。門徒內心充滿不安，因為他們發現，原來跟隨耶穌的道路，並不像自己想像中那樣順利。彼得以為自己可以靠熱心跟隨主，甚至願意為主捨命 (v.37) ，但耶穌卻指出他將會三次不認主。原來，人很多時以為自己知道怎樣走，最終卻發現自己其實不明白。
因此，耶穌安慰門徒：「你們心裡不要憂愁。」(v.1) 接著，祂說了一句極重要的宣告：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。」(v.6) 今天的世界常說：「條條大路通羅馬。」只要真誠、努力、做個好人，似乎每條路都可以通向真理。然而，耶穌並沒有說「我是其中一條路」，而是說「我就是道路」。祂不是提供一個方法，而是祂自己成為人回到父神面前的唯一道路。
問題是，人往往仍然喜歡走自己的路 —— 按自己的想法生活、按自己的標準定義對錯、按自己的方法尋找人生方向。我們未必直接拒絕耶穌，但卻常想一邊跟隨祂，一邊保留自己的道路。然而，真正的信心，不只是承認耶穌存在，而是願意把人生方向交給祂。問題從來不是「有沒有路」，而是 —— 你願意走哪一條路？
【釋經亮點】
大家有沒有想像過，耶穌為我們預備的地方是怎樣？經文中，耶穌說：「在我父的家裡有許多住處。」這句話不只是安慰門徒「將來有天堂」，更是關乎人重新與神同住的應許。在舊約中，「神的家」常指聖殿，是神同在的地方；但人因罪與神隔絕，不能隨意親近神。因此，耶穌所說的「父的家」，不只是空間概念，而是指向一個恢復關係、永遠與神同在的地方。
「住處」原文有「居住、停留」的意思，強調的是持續的同在，而非短暫停留。耶穌說祂要去「預備地方」，不是因天堂需要裝修，而是因祂將要藉著十字架、復活與升天，為人開出一條回到父面前的道路。祂不是單單告訴人「有地方」，而是親自成為那條道路 (14:6) 。
這段經文也帶著「已然與未然」 (already but not yet) 的張力 —— 信徒今天已經因基督得著與神的關係 (已然) ，但將來仍要完全進入與神永遠同住的榮耀裡 (未然) 。因此，耶穌給門徒的安慰，不只是「將來會更好」，而是：你們真正的家，在父那裡；而我正在為你們開路。
反思：我是否仍然想按自己的方式走人生？我是真正相信耶穌是唯一的道路，還是只把祂當作其中一個選擇？今天，我願不願意放下自己的方向，真正跟隨主的道路？
禱告：主耶穌，祢不是其中一條道路，而是唯一能帶我回到父神面前的道路。但我很多時仍然想按自己的想法與方法生活，甚至以為自己能掌控方向。求祢赦免我的驕傲與自我，幫助我真正信靠祢。當我迷失或憂愁時，讓我記得祢已經為我預備道路。願我不只是口裡承認祢，而是真實地跟隨祢，一生走在祢的真理與生命裡。以上禱告，奉主耶穌的名求，阿們。
