In My Father's House

John 14:2 (ESV)
² 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?

2 Corinthians 5:1 (ESV)
¹ For we know that if the tent, which is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

We are here, but only for a short time though it might seem endlessly long now and then.  He is building us up even now. We are already children of God, and as such we are already included in our Father’s house, but we still grow in Christ.

Our earthly body is compared to a tent, a temporary dwelling, for that is what it is. We are here in passing. We are delivered into the body of Christ. When He is revealed so shall we for we are in Him.

It is said elsewhere we are building stones in the new temple of God, with Jesus as the cornerstone.  That is why there are many rooms. He is the first of those risen from the dead. We will follow. When mortal body is replaced by the immortal, we will see fully know our place in God’s eternal house. We are unable to comprehend the wonder and joy of that coming blessed state.

There is more than enough room for all who would partake. Jesus has prepared a place for you and me in His house. Come on in. That is why He came.
