"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you, I will come and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
John 14: 1-3
Every day, obituaries are a staple in the newspaper. As I view the various photographs that accompany the notices, I wonder if the person knew where their soul was going after death?
The above verses set the stage for Jesus' declaration, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He exorts me to trust in him in the same way I trust in God the Father. Plainly he says, "If it were not so, I would have told you." I can always expect the truth from my Savior; He cannot tell a lie.
He's going ahead of me to prepare my room: hang fresh curtains, flip the mattress, stock the shelves, vacuum. He knows the way because he is the Way and will personally escort me to the front door.
Rooms are for the living and Jesus wants me to live with him eternally. Thanks be to God the truth has been told to us plainly. Trust in Jesus today for your salvation so you will know where you go from here.
