John 14 has what I call a 'train-wreck' verse. Whatever little conceptual choo-choo train you got chuggin' down the track hits that verse and gets wrecked.
What do you think it was like for the disciples? Time and again, their little ideational sand castles got washed out to sea. It must have been disorienting, confusing, sometimes scary, but (c'mon, admit it) somewhat exhilarating too. "Wow. Who
