00:00the chibi news daily reflection hi i'm chris tuffnell the vicar of ooterbridge parish church
00:10there are few things as comforting as arriving back at a happy family home perhaps after a long
00:17time away the smell of a family recipe cooking the sound of familiar voices in the next room
00:24the feeling is you flop into your favorite chair to be truly home means peace security acceptance
00:32love some are fortunate enough to experience something of that in this life some of course
00:38don't but it's something every one of us longs for the author c.s lewis best known for the narnia
00:47stories once wrote if i find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy the only
00:55logical explanation is that i was made for another world his reasoning depends on the assumption that
01:03our desires or longings are all there to drive us to a satisfaction that really exists but does such
01:12a home as we long for really exist the christian response to that question is yes after jesus told
01:21his disciples he would die the next day he said to them in john 14 do not let your hearts be troubled
01:30my father's house has many rooms i am going to prepare a place for you his disciples complained
01:38that they didn't know the way to his father's house this heavenly home but they did they did know
01:44the way because jesus replied i am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except
01:53through me you see jesus taught that the way home isn't a path or a philosophy or a set of religious
02:02practices but a person and he promised to lead home all who trust and follow him
