你也許有過類似的經驗。在一個查經小組，你一直在默默地聽，直至某位組員提出一個問題，令整個學習的氣氛改變。一個簡單真誠的提問，便引發了整晚極為有益眾人的討論。

我們的主正在向門徒勾劃未來，多馬提出了一個關鍵性的問題：「主啊，你要往哪裡去？」可能有其他門徒也想著同一個問題，也許他們很高興多馬能勇敢地打斷老師的話，提出這個問題。

我們也應該感謝多馬。基督的回答包含了福音書中一段最重要的談話。倘若多馬沒有詢問耶穌要往哪裡去，我們也許就聽不到這句永垂不朽的話：「我就是道路、真理、生命。」接著的那句話更概括了整個救恩之道：「若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。」

我們要為多馬感謝神，但我們更要為基督那晚在樓上的回答而感謝神。祂直截了當地把通往天堂之路、通往真理之路和通往永生之路告訴我們。

獲得這個答案之後，我們就不再有問題或懷疑了。耶穌基督就是惟一的道路；沒有人能夠從其他道路找到神。

許多宗教和異端邪說都告訴我們，它們能夠提供永生之道，然而，它們的路卻只能通往死胡同。我們有沒有盡力幫助他人尋找正路呢？

You probably have had this experience. In a Bible Study group you have been going along quietly until someone asks a question. Suddenly the whole study takes on a new perspective. One simple sincere question has opened the way for the most helpful discussion of the whole evening.

Our Lord was quietly outlining the future for the disciples when Thomas asked his incisive question, “Where are you going?” It is possible several of the others were thinking along the same lines. Perhaps they were glad Thomas had been brave enough to interrupt the Master.

We should all be grateful to Thomas. Christ's reply is composed of some of the greatest words of the Gospel. If Thomas hadn't asked about the place Jesus was referring to, we would never have had these immortal words, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” The next statement sums up the whole way of salvation “No one comes to the Father except by me.”

Thank God for Thomas, but thank God more for the wonderful answer Christ gave that night in the upper room. It tells us plainly the way to Heaven, the way to true knowledge and the way to Eternal Life.

There can never be any question or doubt. Jesus Christ is the way and the Father will never recognise anyone who dares to try and come by some other way.

Many religions and cults tell us they have found the way but their roads sadly lead nowhere. Are we doing enough to help others find the right road?
