Are you ready to go on a trip? Are you looking forward to flying out of here? Ready for the excitement of going to a place you have never been before?
To me, this sounds like the best vacation ever. But we have to prepare for a vacation trip. We have to get things ready to go first.
But the departure I’m talking about is one from earthly ties and an earthly home to a brand-new home created especially for you and the price has already been paid in full.
John 14:1-4 (MSG) says, “Don’t let this rattle you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me. There is plenty of room for you in my Father’s home. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you? And if I’m on my way to get your room ready, I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live. And you already know the road I’m taking.” Yes, it’s a permanent vacation I’m talking about. Moving into a brand-new home in a place that will never be spoiled by death, pain, sorrows, or tears. Jesus has gone ahead of you to prepare a place just for you and when the Father tells Him it is time, He will come and get you and take you home. But are you ready? The price has already been paid in full for you, but you have to make the choice to accept what Jesus has given. Asking Jesus into your life, receiving forgiveness of ALL of your sins, is THE BEST choice you can ever make, but it is up to you to make that choice. Jesus won’t force you.
We don’t know the hour of our departure from our earthly home, so we need to be ready NOW. I pray that you have your “ticket” and are ready to fly!
