"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:2-3
The hope of every Christian is to see his or her Savior face to face and to live with him for eternity. How gratifying it is to know that despite our sinful nature, we have a Lord that sees past our sins and takes care of our needs. Surely we need to be sin-less people, but for those that walk in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses of all sin.
This cleansing is necessary to our salvation. It is only through this process that we can look forward with great anticipation to the promises that he has made. Imagine Christ preparing places for us in God's heavenly house. This means that we will be in close proximity to the Father. It means that we will have access to Him. It means that He has made arrangements for us to interact with Him.
Beloved, we look forward with baited breath to many things. It may be a birthday, anniversary, holiday or vacation, but whatever we cast our hearts favorably toward, pales in comparison to our anticipated access to the Lord. What a great day that will be. Let us live lives commensurate with the privilege we have in Him.
Loving Like Jesus,
Lee
