TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“Do not be worried and upset.

Believe in God and believe also in me.

There are many rooms in my Father’s house,

and I am going to prepare a place for you.

I would not tell you this if it were not so.

.

And after I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come back and take you to myself,

so that you will be where I am.”

.

– John 14:1-3 (GNT)

REFLECTION…

.

So much happens around us that saddens us

and, sometimes, even threatens and shakes our faith.

through His work of redemption,

Christ has prepared a dwelling-place in heaven

for those of us who believe in Him

and who stay faithful to Him,

promising us a share in His glory.

.

The return which Jesus refers to

includes His Second Coming (Parousia) at the end of the world

as well as His meeting with each and every soul after death:

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

I believe in You, O Lord my Saviour, and I follow You with joy in my heart.

Lead me, that I may one day share in Your glory.
