Lesson of John 14:2

“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”... John 14: 2
(The New International version of the Bible)

We have all traveled at on time or another. We traveled for different reasons; some of us travel for business and others on vacations. Even under the best of conditions, the journey is never easy. There are arrival and departure times we must pay closet attention to because if we don’t we will miss our transportation and our plans will be delayed. Upon arrival at the terminal, we have to check our bags, find the correct departure gate and go through security (if traveling by plane). The terminals are big and crowed. Even through there are a lot of people, there is still a sense of loneness and a feeling that no one cares. Everything is very impersonal and mechanical. This is caused by the same technology that is suppose to make our life easier by allowing us to check-in online, scan our ID’s and keep us update with the latest information. Food is always expensive and never has any taste. I gust it is the price we have to pay in order to live in an orderly mechanized world.
After having “paid the price” to get to the destination, I’m always happy to be able to take off my shoes and enjoy a home cooked meal. This is when I appreciate to warmth and love of the people who are the closest to me. Then, being able to go to sleep in a clean, comfortable bed is wonderful.
Heaven is like this. Jesus is preparing a place for us. He knows what to put in our room and He knows what we need in our room. Room is define as a “space inside a building enclosed or set apart by wall and doors” (that’s its Earthly meaning) but it is also define as a “chance or opportunity” by Webster’s American Dictionary. By dying on the Cross, Jesus gave up the opportunity to become children of God. It is our choice weather or not we want to follow His teaching.
