Each Sunday during Lent I have been highlighting something we have because of Christ’s work on the cross and resurrection. Salvation and Christ’s Righteousness is ours as well as the promise of an eternal home with Christ.

Scripture tells us that death is not the end for us as God has a home for us in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:1 “For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.’

Jesus said words to comfort his disciples as his time on earth neared the end. These are familiar words giving us hope for a home in heaven with Jesus and Jesus’ promised return. Our home in heaven is not random or thrown together at the last minute but planned and prepared for us by God. John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. ² In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going.” We know the way because we believe in Jesus. Remember his familiar words in John 14:6 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” The way is through faith in Jesus!

Because Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, I can be assured of my home in heaven through faith in Jesus.

Have a blessed Sunday.
