Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” John 14:5
Thomas earned a familiar name having to do with his stance on needing physical contact before believing a thing had happened, but here he stands in for us and asks the question. It is a question that might be stated another way to all those who say they will go to Heaven when they die. Where is this Heaven? One might ask them. Do you fly there? You have never flown (without the use of mechanical devices) in your life, how are you going to suddenly begin flying after death? Thomas did not understand that Jesus meant His death, resurrection, and ascension, nor did the other disciples at that time. So, Thomas asked for all of us that question: Where is my Savior going, and how do I get there? Of course we know that great answer our Lord gave in the next verse:
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
