There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you. John 14:2 NET
There are homes that give us a bit of trouble, homes that we would rather get away from, and even homes that are so beautiful we wish we could afford one. But there is only one home for those who believe the words of Jesus and that is the one He has gone to make ready for us. Many translations of our Lord's statements use the word 'mansion', but why should we limit our Lord to a mere mansion? The dwelling place He has gone to prepare may be larger than we imagine, or smaller. It may not have inside it what we think of here on earth, but will certainly be better than we can dream. We like to think that this heavenly home will not be actively falling apart as houses do here, but that may not be true either. What we do believe from our Lord Jesus is that this home will be more than a joy, greater than a delight, and just right with Him.
Let us talk about our home with Jesus!
