Jesus The Way to the Father

John 14:2-3 There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so.  3 And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am.
 
I think these are some of the most comforting words recorded as words of our living Savior. I think of how, when I was young, I would leave my room each morning with a bed unmade and clothes on the floor, and I would come back at night to see the room clean, the bed made. All I would have to do is pull on my pajamas and climb into bed. Pretty nice, huh? My mother had prepared a room for me. (I did have to clean the room and make the bed when I got older.)
    But how nice was it to come to a room like that? For some reason I felt loved. I felt secure in our home because a place had been prepared for me. I didn’t consciously think of it; I actually hadn’t considered it until I first wrote this, about 50 years later. But this secure feeling is part of me. It’s part of my unspoken relationship with my mother and father for providing such a home.
    Recalling this blessing, I think of how my heavenly Father will care for me in eternity. I can’t know the details, but I know there will be incredible joy and a wonderful sense of security, fully living in the presence of God the Father and God the Son. I know that when I get there, all is prepared for me because Jesus’ gift of life transcends into the gift of an eternal home. A resurrected life is one that awaits with anticipation the glory of our heavenly home. It is a life lived with the assurance a place is prepared for us.
 
Resurrection Truth: live secure in the place the Father has prepared for you through Jesus.
