John 14:1-3
Do not let your heart be troubled, Trust in God, Trust also in Me. In my Fathers house are many rooms. If it were not so I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
I received an invitation to a party. I was so excited to go because it was at a place that I had never
Hmmmm. I began to wonder, then worry… would there be enough room? I really am uncomfortable at parties that are wall to wall people. Maybe I won’t go. If I were to go, would I even see my host? I have been to these events before where you are squeezing by people who are holding their food and beverage, and so are you. Inevitably someone’s drink sloshes on you! No, I won’t go… but, it is a beautiful place, and I do really like the people who invited me. Okay, I’ll go. Wait, that means parking will be packed too! I really don’t like to go an hour early to get a parking place! I won’t go.
Maybe you have had a similar debate with yourself about something you have been invited to. But just think. Would the host really invite so many people that you would be squished? Would the Fire Marshall even allow that? In today’s scripture verse Jesus is talking about a home He is preparing for us to dwell in for eternity, once we get to Heaven. He is working on it even now, and I am sure since He rules the Universe, there will be enough room for everyone who professes Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
So, I decided to go. So glad I did! The venue was having such a surge in their business, they expanded the hall… and the parking. I had a blast. Food was great, and, my host took time to chat with me!
Remember, this earth is NOT our permanent residence! Be sure you have sent back your heavenly R.S.V.P. You are not going to want to miss this party!
(Read Revelation 21 for further details on the ‘room’ Jesus is preparing for us.)
