Where Is He?

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. John 14:2

Yesterday we read about faith and how the expression of that faith even among us may be different. Today, we are going to answer a question that has surely come up in past pandemics and will again in this one. Where is our Lord Jesus in all of this suffering? 

Jesus has already answered that question for us in our verse for today. Our Lord has gone before us to a place we will go when He returns to take us there, and He is busy getting that place ready for us. 

Aha! The world jumps up to say, He is gone and He is busy elsewhere and does not know what is going on down here. That is already answered as well, but before we go on toward infinity, those who refuse to believe in our Lord Jesus will never be satisfied with any answer we might give from the scriptures. Faith is simply not something we can reach out for, grasp, and hand to each one who needs it. Faith is more like a seed planted in ground prepared to receive it. In many an unbeliever the ground is not yet ready for that seed of faith. 

If the ground were ready, they would, as we do, rejoice in the message of our Lord in John 14:2. We know where Jesus is and what He is doing until the time of His return. 

Amen. Come Lord Jesus!
