Last night to think about Christ's return for us to take us home to our new, beautiful place of life with Him.
In this one verse we have the assurance of God's love for us....
Jesus came for us!
We have the assurance that He will return for us...
He has promised to come back and claim us as His!
We have the assurance of a forever home with Him...
He has left us to prepare a place for us where we will live with Him forever!
This is a great verse of assurance...God does not want us to live lives of doubt and insecurity. He wants us to be assured of our future. Just as our previous verse in 1 John 5:13 stated, "I write these things to you that believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life", Jesus left His disciples giving them words of assurance so that they would know their future was secure with Him.
Even though Jesus is not presently "with" us physically here on earth, He wants us to know that He will come back for those who love Him. We can live confidently and securely knowing that no matter what comes our way, ultimately our Savior is coming our way..to take us home...to our real home...and what a home it will be!
1 Corinthians 2:9, "However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--"

I agree, this is a wonderful verse of reassurance. God sent Jesus so we could learn about God and the plans for us in eternity. He sent Jesus to die on the cross so we could live. God sacrificed His Son. In our wildest dreams we can not imagine what Heaven will be like. God has kept the details of that information from us. But, He tells us it will be a wonderful place of love where we will all have our own special place for eternity. We will be called to go home to be with Christ when God decides that it is our time to leave and be with Him. I feel secure in God's Love.
