is remembered for his intellect, wit, and most of all for his
great faith in Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior. John 14:1-6
says, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if
it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye
may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."
Thomas saith unto Him, "Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?" Jesus saith unto him, "I
am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father,
but by Me." Amen and Amen! Praise the Lord!!!
