4.     FEATURE:  Let’s read John 14:2, which says:

 

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 

 

 

Before leaving this earth Jesus made a special promise to His followers.  He said there were many dwelling places in His Father’s house.  He also promised that He was going to prepare a place for them.

How valuable is it for you to have home?  We need a home in which to live.  We need protection from the elements, a place for our clothing, and a place in which to fellowship with our loved ones.  Those who don’t have a place to live are called homeless.  They don’t have any place to call their own, or any place in which they belong.

Jesus Christ has promised Christians that they will never be homeless in eternity.  He has gone to prepare a wonderful dwelling place for us.  When we leave this mortal life we will have a new home in which to live with our Christian family and our Lord.

In this morning’s Sunday School lesson we will learn a little bit about our wonderful eternal home.
