Heaven

There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.  If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?  John 14:2

If you are at all like me, you like to have the details of your travel planned before you arrive at your destination.  Just recently, I went to Florida on a business trip and boarded a plan without a hotel reservation for my two day trip.  My first stop was in Arcadia, FL and I wasn’t too worried about the local Holiday Inn Express not having a vacancy.  It was the next night in Tampa that I had not planned for and I must admit I felt slightly anxious about heading to Tampa without having the comfort of knowing where I was going to stay for the night.

Too many people live their lives out the way I recently travelled, with no idea of where they are going at the end of their life journey.  Not only is there a heaven, but Jesus is busy making preparations for our arrival.  Heaven is not some destination paradise where we will spend a quick vacation; it is actually an eternal dwelling place where we will live in joyful fellowship with our heavenly Father and heavenly family.  

Since we know Jesus Christ has gone before us to prepare a place for us to stay, we can be confident that our ‘room’ is ready and waiting!
