Don't worry about the future times

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2In 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.  3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you know, and the way you know.”                                  John 14:1-4    NKJV

Yesterday, we had a glimpse of what heaven was like. Today, let's have a look at where we will live and how we will get there. Firstly, we know that when we die, all people who have Jesus as their Lord, will dwell in that wonderful place known as heaven. Secondly, Jesus here reassures us of where we will live.

When He died, He went to heaven and began a preparation period for where we will dwell. He is preparing mansions for us to live in. Now, we all know how large a mansion is, but these mansion will be vast - a vast amount of dwelling places that we will be hard pressed to view them all. There will be ample space for us all.

He tells the disciples in this scripture, and us too, that when He leaves for heaven, we won't be able to see Him but, we will know He is there. What He does say is when He has finished the preparation period, He will return for us all. This is called the Rapture. He will then take us to our forever home with Him. Those who die before this rapture period, will join Him in heaven immediately.

He wants to reassure us that there is nothing to worry about - no fear. He tells us to believe in God and therefore, believe in Him also. In other words, He wants us to place our full trust in Jesus just as He does in His Father. 

Just think about it for a moment. It took God 6 days to create a place in heaven, and it was sheer bliss initially. Jesus has been preparing our dwelling place for over 2000 years, so this just has to be amazing. And what's more, you will see this and dwell there eternally. 

So don't allow anyone to make you feel uneasy about dwelling with Jesus. The devil will twist the words of unbelievers to try and make you feel scared about it. Believe Jesus instead of false words. Believe in the truth!

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
