And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. - John 14:3 KJV
One of the promises God has given us through His Son, Jesus Christ is eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, John 3:16 KJV. This eternal life will be with Him in heaven. To assure us of this, Jesus said, He will go and prepare a place for us. Not only will He prepare a place for us, but He will come again and receive us unto Himself.
As they were straining their eyes for another glimpse, suddenly two white-robed men were standing there among them, and said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky? Jesus has gone away to heaven, and some day, just as he went, he will return!” Acts 1:11 TLB.
Even the angels confirmed to the disciples that one day Jesus will return. What is He coming back to do? He is coming back to receive us, His people unto Himself, that where He is, there we will be also. Hallelujah! Isn’t this exciting? I hope this excites you as much as it excites me. We can look forward to the fulfilment of this promise because we know that God keeps His promises.
Timothy and Silvanus and I have been telling you about Jesus Christ the Son of God. He isn’t one to say yes when he means no. He always does exactly what he says. He carries out and fulfills all of God’s promises, no matter how many of them there are; and we have told everyone how faithful he is, giving glory to his name, 2 Corinthians 1:19-20 TLB.
Hold on to the promises of God, be encourage, be comforted, for He who promised is faithful to fulfil His promises. One day Jesus will return for you and I, and we will be with Him forever!
