My Father’s House

Do you feel like you belong? Do you feel like you have a place? Are you rooted in place?

God desires to make us a home with him. We belong with Jesus. We have a heavenly place where we will dwell with Jesus and we will be rooted in that place with him for eternity.

In the Apostle John’s Gospel account, Jesus said, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 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 15:1-3, ESV).

We do not need to be troubled or afraid. We do not need to be homesick for our perfect heavenly home. We will dwell with God for eternity. Jesus is preparing a place for us with him in his Father’s house. Jesus will return and take us to be with him in our heavenly home. Where Jesus is, there we will be with him forever.

May we take comfort that we have a heavenly home with God the Father and his Son Jesus, and may we anticipate being with him in our perfect heavenly home for eternity.

A Collect for the Fifth Sunday of Easter: “Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
