In Heaven There Is Room For All

John 14:2-4

"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. And if I go and

prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive

you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be

also  And whither I go ye know and

the way ye know."

    There is a very simple and very lovely meaning here. There are many abiding places in my Father's house which simply means, that in heaven there is room for all. An earthly house becomes overcrowded; an earthly inn sometimes turns away weary traveler's because its accommodations are exhausted, or they just don't want to give up a room. It is not so with our Father's house, for heaven is as wide as the heart of God and there is room for all. Jesus is saying to his friends: and to all that was around Him "Don't be afraid" Men may shut their doors upon you. But in heaven you will never be shut out."
    "If it were not so," My friends, this tells us the honesty of Jesus. No one could ever claim that Jesus had lured anyone into Christianity by misleading promises or under false pretenses. Jesus told men bluntly that a Christian must bid farewell to comfort. He told them of the persecution, the hatred, the penalties they would have to bear. He told them of the cross which they must Carry.   
    Jesus said: "Where I am, there you will also be." Here is the truth put in the simplest way; for the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with him. When we love someone with our whole heart, we are really alive only when we are with that person. That is the way it is with Christ. In this world our contact with him is some what shadowed, for we cannot see, or touch Him; but we talk to Him In Prayer, We sing to Him in Church, and He talks to us through His Holy Word. My Friend, the best definition  I can give you, is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus. 
Amen!
