你也许有过类似的经验。在一个查经小组，你一直在默默地听，直至某位组员提出一个问题，令整个学习的气氛改变。一个简单真诚的提问，便引发了整晚极为有益众人的讨论。

我们的主正在向门徒勾划未来，多马提出了一个关键性的问题：「主啊，你要往哪里去？」可能有其他门徒也想着同一个问题，也许他们很高兴多马能勇敢地打断老师的话，提出这个问题。

我们也应该感谢多马。基督的回答包含了福音书中一段最重要的谈话。倘若多马没有询问耶稣要往哪里去，我们也许就听不到这句永垂不朽的话：「我就是道路、真理、生命。」接着的那句话更概括了整个救恩之道：「若不借着我，没有人能到父那里去。」

我们要为多马感谢神，但我们更要为基督那晚在楼上的回答而感谢神。祂直截了当地把通往天堂之路、通往真理之路和通往永生之路告诉我们。

获得这个答案之后，我们就不再有问题或怀疑了。耶稣基督就是惟一的道路；没有人能够从其他道路找到神。

许多宗教和异端邪说都告诉我们，它们能够提供永生之道，然而，它们的路却只能通往死胡同。我们有没有尽力帮助他人寻找正路呢？

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?
