BELONGING

READ:

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.
-John 14:2

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalms 77-78
Romans 10

My dad was full of stories about his hometown. So you can imagine how excited I was as a child when he took our family there every summer. We fished the St. Joseph River together and visited his boyhood farm where all of his stories came to life. Although that place was never really my home, whenever I visit that town-now with grown children and grandchildren of my own - it fills me with a nostalgic sense of belonging.
Jesus talked with His disciples about His home in heaven which He left to come and live among us. What a joy it must have been for Him to tell His disciples, "In my Father's house are many mansionsI go to prepare a place for you,that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:2-3). No doubt Jesus, "who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross" (Hebrews 12:2), was looking forward to returning to His heavenly home and taking His Father's sons and daughters there to be with Him.
The thought of Jesus taking us to His Father's home fills us with great anticipation and compels us to tell others the good news about the Son who came to rescue us from this fallen place - Joe Stowell
Now I belong to Jesus;
Jesus belongs to me -
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity. - Clayton

Only Jesus can fill us with a sense of belonging like we've never known before.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
