Because He Lives We Have a Home in Heaven
Because He Lives We Have A Home in Heaven
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? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
John 14:2-3
Devotion for Today
Have you ever thought about what happens after you die?
Can you imagine your first day in heaven and what that will be like?
Before Jesus died, He promised His disciples that He was going to prepare a place for them. And that’s true for us, too. Jesus is preparing a place for us to go to after this world passes away.
He’s making a home for us in heaven.
That home is only made possible because Jesus rose from the grave. He defeated the death.
The punishment for our sin is eternal separation from God—but Jesus. Jesus took the punishment we deserved upon Himself, yet the grave couldn’t hold Him.
He didn’t deserve to die, but He did.
He did it for us.
And He didn’t just die—He rose again. And now, with His resurrected body, He’s in heaven making a place for us to live out eternity united with Him.
Doesn’t that make you overflow with thankfulness? I can barely hold it in.
Because He lives, He’s preparing a place for us to live with Him.
And someday, when the time is right, He will come get us and bring us home.
Our Redeemer lives.
