John 17:24 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!”
Did you ever stop to ask, “What was the starting date of the world? What was here before our planet was created? Did the space even exist into which to put a planet – or did space have to be created too?” However long ago that was, even before there was a world, God was showering love and glory on his Son Jesus!
Jesus' ministry is inclusive – He wants all the believers to share in the same love and glory the Father showed him, and that gives us hope! He wants us to be with him, so we can easily witness the goodness of the Father. As Jesus spoke of these things, he was preparing to ascend into heaven, to return to the Father. He said that he would go ahead to prepare a place for us in heaven, described as a big house with many rooms. Friends, we get to see heaven from the inside!
True believers are now children of God, adopted into the Holy Family, and we SHOULD live under the same roof with the rest of God's children! See you there!
Blessings and safety to all this week!
