Your heavenly home

"I am going...to prepare a place for you." John 14:2

All that stuff you see in the movies, like fog banks and disembodied spirits floating around in some nether world to the eerie sounds of Celtic music-forget it. Heaven will be:
(1) A home built just for you. Are you worried about where you go when you die, or where your loved ones have gone? Don't be! Jesus said, "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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am" (Jn 14: 1-3).
(2) A city you'll love! "I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem" (Rev 21:2). It's an exact square of 1400 miles. It stretches from the Carolinas to California and from Canada to Mexico. It's 40 times the size of England, 10 times the size of France, and larger than India. And that's just the ground floor; it's as tall as it is wide; 600,000 stories, more than enough space for billions of people to come and go. And come and go they will. The gates never close. Why shut them? The ememies of God will be banished, leaving only a perfect place of perfected people.
(3) With Christ, the One you love most! Paul, who had the privilege of visiting heaven, wrote, "I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far" (Php 1:23). So don't get too comfortable here on earth!
