I am going to prepare a place for you!
“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?” (John 14:2 ESV)
Everybody dies, that’s just the way it is!
It’s easy to forget that each one of us is only temporarily here on earth. The Bible says that “it is appointed unto man to die and then judgement.” (Heb. 9:27).
Comforting and wonderful
The older I get, the more people I have known who have now passed away, including my parents, many aunts and uncles, one of my brothers, and many friends.
It’s very comforting to know that Jesus has promised that he has “prepared a place” for those who have passed on; that there is something wonderful waiting for those who have placed their trust in Him.
