Day 18:
(Scripture)
John 14:1-6
Evening Devotion
When I was a young Christian I would always hear people talking about getting to heaven so they could get their mansion. The poor interpretation has led people to think their are going to have a big house in heaven. This is not the case. It’s really talking about rooms. Besides this, Jesus is not saying this to have us wanting a mansion. He says this to want us to be with Him (vs. 3).
Jesus wants life on this earth to be with Him as the training ground for life after this. If He is not involved in the training for life on this earth, there is no life with Him after this. It causes us to see the value of the “Jesus Life”! It is the only way to live.
(Prayer)
Lord. I thank You for who You are. You have been faithful throughout my life. I have learned that I cannot live without You. You are my life. It is for this reason that I get excited about the next life. If life on earth is great with You, then what will it be like when I get to see You face to face and experience the fullness of the One who saved me.
I pray for those who believe the lie that there is another way to experience Heaven or experience your goodness. You are the Truth. You are the only Way. May they experience the Truth so that they can know the only Way to the Father. I pray for my friends. May they see the Way, the Truth and the Life living inside of me so that they can experience the goodness of God in the land of the living.
Thank You Lord!
Amen!
