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?
We all need to get away from our regular routine and take a vacation somewhere different. A place where we can rest for awhile and let our minds relax and leave the stress behind.
As Jesus was getting ready to say goodbye to his disciples and this world, his temporary home for 33 years, he made a promise to them.
He was leaving his closest friends but in his absence he would be doing something special for them. He would be preparing rooms and not just for them but for all who would believe their words and trust in HIM.
The thought of a room in Paradise sounds good but the truth is: Jesus has promised to give us rest right here, right now. He invites us to lay our burdens, stresses, fears, anxieties all on him. Refreshing living water is flowing through our souls right now since the Holy Spirit lives within.
May we enjoy the Presence of our Lord today and faithfully hold on to his promise of rooms in Paradise with our names on the doors.
