“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.”
John 14:2
God assures His children of their
future. We have eternal life. Jesus told us in His gospel that He is preparing
a place for us. When it is our time He will come and get us. He has a book and
our names are written in it. It is the Lamb’s Book of Life. Not everyone’s name
will be written in it. Revelations 21:27 says “But there shall by no means
enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only
those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” There will be no evil,
darkness or sin in our eternal home. His glory will be everywhere. In some
restaurants you have to have a reservation to get in. We have a reservation in
heaven that can never be changed. And the place Jesus is making ready for us is
custom-made just for you. In fact, we aren’t to think of our life on earth as
our home. We are to think of heaven as our home. We are “strangers and pilgrims
on the earth” (Hebrews 11:13). We are separate from this world. We are His and
His precious Holy Spirit lives within us. What makes us tick is different than
what makes those that are in and of this world tick. We live to please Him. We
follow His ways. We have the heart and mind of God. We also have God’s
guarantee: no mansion on earth can compare to the eternal home that is waiting
in heaven for you.
Father, we thank You for the eternal home that is waiting
in heaven for us. We thank You that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of
Life. We thank You that there will be no evil, darkness or sin in our eternal
home. We thank You that Your glory will be everywhere. Heaven is our home and
we are so grateful. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
