Hope in a future home in Glory.

Grace and peace to you dear friends,

"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." John 14:1-3 ESV
 
 After the last post about meditating more on Christ's Kingdom and the promises that go with it, I though this would be a good passage to follow with. We know that not only do we have a place in heaven where we will live forever but we will have the ultimate prize, Christ Jesus Himself, "that where I am you may be also". I can't even begin to describe what that is going to be like. Can you? Oh how I long for the day to come when Christ returns and bring us home to our eternal dwelling, "I will come again and will take you to myself". What joy, what joy that will be my friends. Not only for us then, but think about the peace, contentment and confidence we have right now, just knowing that it's coming. Share the joy and peace friends. Christ is coming back but while He waits, it's our job to be spreading the knowledge of Him that leads others to the same joy filled hope that we have.

Friends, don't let the trials and sadness of this sin cursed world shake your confidence. "Let not your hearts be troubled". Instead fix your heart on the joy of knowing Jesus Christ and all that He is for you.

For the Joy of Your Faith and the hope of a future home in Glory,
Teagan
