Our scripture for today is John 14:2
“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.” – Jesus
For fifty years, I doubt if I have ever preached a funeral when I did not read this beautiful verse. Recently, I have seen it in a new light.
When my fourth grandchild, a baby girl named Emma, was born, I went to the house. She had so many clothes that I was amazed. Knowing her mother had not had time to go shopping, I said to her, “How did you find time to buy all these clothes?” She answered, “I already had a room full of new clothes waiting for her.”
That is similar to what Jesus is telling us in today’s verse. The little girl was not here yet and yet her mother was already preparing blessings for her.”
Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you…I will come again and take you unto myself that where I am there you may be also.”
When you and I were born into his kingdom, we were born into blessings that were already waiting for us.
To assure us of this, Paul told the Corinthians,
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Blink your eyes; time will pass, and the blessings will be yours.
Just that thought ought to make you have a good day.
