John chapter 14 has been my favorite chapter in the Bible for a long time. I find so much reassurance there. This morning I was struck by Jesus' promise to come for us:
John 14:1-3 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
We often consider the promise of Jesus' second coming when He comes in the clouds for all the world and we wonder if that Day is soon. This morning I am warmed by the promise that He will come for me personally when it is time to go and take me to be with Him. He actually has prepared a place for us. I help people plan for retirement and one of the aspects most people consider is whether they will change homes in retirement, or perhaps eventually relocate to a senior center or assisted living. Isn't it encouraging to know that our heavenly residence will be ready and our personal escort will be Jesus, Himself!
blessings,
