“My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” John 14:2 NIV
When Jesus Christ ascended back to Heaven, He ascended as the risen Lord of Glory. He ascended as One Who is to be worshiped, served and loved. His sacrifice and His death on the cross are reason enough for Him to demand worship from those He has saved by His grace. For He is our one and only Commander in Chief. Yet He is more! He Is our Completing One. Jesus left us the promise that He was going to prepare a place for us in Heaven so that we could be there with Him throughout eternity. Just as a bridegroom prepares a place for His bride, Jesus has committed Himself to providing a place for us. And, what a place it is? Take some time and read Revelation chapters 21-22. One great and glorious day, we will join Him in that place He is making ready for us! There is more. Jesus is the Coming One. While Jesus was here, He told His disciples that He would be going away. He also promised them that He would come again in John 14:1-3. This promise was confirmed by the angels who attended the Lord’s ascension in Acts 1:11. One day soon our Saviour will appear in the clouds above the earth, and He will call His people up to meet Him in the clouds. On that day, our frail and sinful bodies will be changed into His image, and we will be with Him in all His glory, and we will be like Him. What a great future we have!
