“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. ² My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. ⁴ You know the way to the place where I am going.”  John 14

The road ahead is going to be harder than any this world has traveled.  That is difficult to imagine both for those who have suffered greatly in this life and equally unimaginable for those who have had an easy passage.  We all, believers and skeptic will face the same tragedy brought on by God’s dwindling patience, as the waters of His wrath begin to spill over the confines of His dam of mercy.  What then will be an unbeliever’s comfort?  Will they be left with nothing but weeping and gnashing of teeth as the Bible foretells?  What peace soothes the heart of each believer, indwelt by Spirit, armed with the knowledge of destination and eternity?

God fulfills “every” promise.  Jesus is God.  Therefore the promise of His preparation and return to gather His children is the solid foundation upon which each believer’s Spiritual edifice resides.  He has gone, in order to construct a place for us, where we shall “live” together.  Does that strike you as strange or does that give you the hope it was intended to sponsor?  And finally, do you know the “way” to which the Lord refers?  Can you clearly see the path to where He has gone?  If these things are not clear please reach out to the Holy Spirit as guide and to pastors, teachers, elders and fellow believers for clarification.  It is essential that you see the path and if you don’t you will not be prepared for the Lord’s return.  I so desperately pray that you are prepared and that the Lord finds you and me “ready” when He arrives to gather us.  Let me know how I may help bring some sense to your questions.

Father we welcome your return and know that we may face extreme difficulty before that great and glorious day.  Give us the hope to keep our eyes heavenward and let us not falter in our faith because of the pressures about to face this world.  Armor us against the weapons of this world so that we may stand in the face of storm and tragedy knowing that you will pave the way forward.  Bless Your Holy Name King Jesus.  The Christ of God.
