You’ve seen this scenario play out in many a movie. The hero turns to his companions and says, “Do you trust me?” They all nod tentatively and then he leads them to jump off a cliff because he knows where it leads. Something like that is how Jesus spoke at the Last Supper in St. John’s Gospel. The Lord said, You’ve been following me this far. Will you go all the way with me? Thomas, who is alot like we are, questioned: can’t you tell us where the way leads before asking us to jump off? To which Jesus responds: I am the way. It’s all about the relationship we’ve built up. If you have found me a trustworthy friend and guide, follow me.
