------GOING HOME~~ -----(PLEASE READ/ Revelation 21:1-21)--
---The longer we live as Christians, the more we should feel like strangers in this world. Something within us recognizes that we’re outsiders here, and we yearn for that day when Jesus opens the door of heaven and welcomes us home. Although everything that God has prepared for us is beyond our comprehension, John helps us catch a glimpse by describing the contrast between what we know in this world and what it will be like in Heaven.**God will dwell among us.Throughout history, no human being could see God, but that barrier won’t remain, because sin will be eradicated in us. Since we will be completely righteous forever, we will no longer have to continually fight off unholy urges. **Sin’s consequences will pass away. All the suffering that has afflicted us will end. There will be no more tears, death, mourning, or pain. That is when we will discover firsthand the truth of Psalm 16:11: “In Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” **Our new home will be glorious. Jesus assured His disciples He was going to prepare a place for them in His Father’s house (John 14:2-3). The location is the New Jerusalem, and since it’s a cube 1,500 miles on a side (Revelation 21:16), there’ll be plenty of room for every believer. That remarkable place radiates the brilliance of God’s glory like a large multi-faceted diamond—John compared its beauty to a bride who’s adorned for her husband on their wedding day. Fix a mental image of John’s description in your mind. In those moments when this life disappoints you, remember that you’re not Home yet.--IN TOUCH~-[Friends, many of us, Christians and unbelievers, are concerned about the weather, climate change, wars, and all the things we 'see'. But Jesus told us it would be this way. Are we worried about the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches? No, if Jesus is Lord of your life, you can rest assured that He is in control and He will return to gather us, His bride, to live with Him forever. As long as we live on Earth, we are in a spiritual battle. "Even so, Come Lord Jesus." Please, if you have not received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, do so now. "No one knows the day or hour the Son of Man will return. We are told in Scripture to be always ready. Trust Jehovah YAHWEH, YHWH. He is in control. "Does not the God of all the Earth do right?" YES and AMEN! If you have not asked Jesus to be Lord of your life, please do so now. "By faith..if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him for the dead, you will be saved; "For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confess, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be ashamed. Whoever will call on the Name of the LORD will be saved." --(Romans 10: verses 8 thru 13)]
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
