A Heavenly Address By Billy Graham “I am going there to prepare a place for you.” —John 14:2, NIV I live in a place high on a mountain in a log cabin in North Carolina. I may travel all over the world, but I know that when I come home, I will return to a precise location. It will still be there at the end of my journey, and I always look forward to coming home! In saying that He was going to prepare a place for us, Jesus was telling us that when we die, we are going to a precise location. We do not evaporate or disappear. In fact, He said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2). We are going to have a place in Heaven if we have trusted Christ as our Savior—and not only a place, but a mansion! When we as Christians die, we go straight into the presence of Christ—straight to that place, straight to that mansion in Heaven to spend eternity with God. We are simply changing our address! Hope for Today Have you ever shown up early or unexpected to someone’s house? It’s awkward, right? On the other hand, when someone greets you at the door and has the guest room ready, it feels remarkable. When you arrive in Heaven, all the heavenly host will be expecting you. | ||
