My Father’s House

Jesus said, "In My Father's house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And 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." John 4: 2-3

Yes, there is a heavenly place prepared for all children of God - in the Father's House and this was made possible through the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Therefore, for all who are sons and daughters of God, co-heirs with Christ, we need not worry about being in these heavenly mansions because Jesus has already prepared the place for us.

Our focus should not be placed on our Father's House of many mansions but rather on The Way. Notice Jesus said that He will come again and receive us to Himself, that where He is, there we may be also.

We learn from the Holy Scriptures that God the Father and Jesus His Son are One (John 14:10-11). And for those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons (children) of God (Romans 8:14); one Spirit with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17). So where Jesus is, there we are with Him and God the Father.

Therefore as we await for the coming again of Christ, let us continue to be faithful servants of God in doing our work in our Father's Business - in line with our church theme for the year 2010. Not only this year but until He comes again.
